Warne's lost that loving feeling

Bah humbug. Shane Warne cares not a jot for Christmas cheer (or indeed for the fact that Australia won everything in sight for eight years under the coaching of John Buchanan) and has instead called his former national coach a "goose". Well, at least it is a festive insult.

I'm assuming he means that Buchanan is a bit of a fool for his recent airing of some unusual ideas, but surely Buchanan deserves a bit more respect given everything he did for Australia. Or is Warne, in likening him to a dumb animal stuffed with fat (hypocrite alert), still wounded by not being made captain?

There is another conclusion. If Buchanan is "Goose" then there is no denying that Warne is "Maverick". Who is "Iceman", though? Mike Hussey?

Utterly classless.

Buchanan deserves a lot more respect, if that comment was serious rather than tongue in cheek.

Mind you, he has been saying some odd things of late. Oh well, like Warne, Buchanan is now not in position to influence anything on the field anyway.

Merry Christmas everyone...
