Melbourne, Jan 21 : Former Aussie cricketer Shane Warne may not be a shy man, but he stayed mum when about any re-ignited romance with ex-wife Simone Callahan at a recent press conference.

Warne, who participated in the Aussie Millions Poker Championship for his sponsor 888poker, preferred not to comment on the state of their relationship.

However, he did say that Callahan wouldn''t be at Crown for the poker championship.

"She''s down at the beach with the kids," the Herald Sun quoted Warne as saying.

Sydney, Jan. 21 : Australia should persist with New South Wales batting sensation David Warner at the top of its one-day order despite the likelihood he will fail more often than he succeeds, says former leg spinner Shane Warne.

The NSW left-hander has made scores of seven and five in the two innings since his superb knock of 83 in his international debut 10 days ago.

London, Jan 9 : Legendary spinner Shane Warne has said that he is not interested in coaching England at present because he has given up following a team around the world.

He claims that the offer from Kevin Pietersen to replace Peter Moores as England head coach was `not taken seriously' by him.

Writing in The Times today, Warne reveals that he did receive a tongue-in-cheek approach from Pietersen via text message, but turned it down.

Warne, who would require a salary way beyond the 250,000 pounds earned by Moores, distanced himself from the England job.

Melbourne, Jan 9 : Kevin Pietersen's good friend and former Hampshire teammate Shane Warne has warned that Pietersen would be an even more dangerous and committed player now that he has relinquished the England captaincy.

Pietersen resigned from his leadership duties on Wednesday after a bitter feud with coach Peter Moores, who was sacked soon after Pietersen quit.

As Pietersen prepares to head to the West Indies as a rank-and-file player under new skipper Andrew Strauss, Warne said his controversial mate would become an even more threatening cricket animal.

Melbourne, Jan 4 : Former Test selector John Benaud has called for an overhaul of Australia's selection panel, and said that legend Shane Warne would be the ideal candidate to lead a new era.

Criticising the current selection panel, Benaud labelled the national selectors "too conservative" and believes Andrew Hilditch, Jamie Cox or David Boon must be sacked.

The selection quartet of Hilditch, Cox, Boon and Merv Hughes has been pilloried in the wake of South Africa's series win, with the panel particularly under fire for selecting an injured Andrew Symonds for the Boxing Day Test, the Daily Telegraph reported.
