Trouser Blow for Warne

Shane Warne's life outside of Cricket lurched into another disaster today as Australian clothing giant Tarocash have decided to shelve Warne from its September and March catalogues. Tarocash's managing director, Stephen Leibowitz, said:

"There were customers who took exception to us using Shane in promotions. We got a letter from a customer saying we are associated with drunkards and adulterers, and that the customer would be shopping elsewhere," Mr Liebowitz said. The letter was signed by a Mr S MacGill.

Its also rumoured Warne will also lose his exclusive right to free Chino's.

How Warne bounces back from this remains to be seen. Australian Captain Ricky Ponting has some long hours ahead trying to pick Warnie up after this one.

It can only act in England's favour.
