Memories: Shane Warne talks about being caned at school (many times)
Shane
Warne, the Australian cricketer, considered by many as one of the greatest bowlers
in history, was caned many times at school. He said (jokingly?), “I must have
enjoyed it because I kept going back.”
He told Michael Parkinson
(the best known British chat show host in history) in a special interview in
2007, he would often be sent to the headmaster after misbehaving. There was
always a routine, Shane said, “The headmaster would say “Righty-ho! I’m going
to practice my golf swing on you ... You know the routine, bend over, lift your
blazer up... So I’d lift the blazer up.” Then there was a swishing noise. “Just
practicing.” Then, “Six of the best each time.”
