## Resource

Merv Hughes #33 | Former Australian fast bowler joins me to share memories from his time playing alongside Shane Warne and what it was like watching his journey unfold from inside the Australian team. We talk about their experiences touring together, the early signs that made Shane different and how he helped bring spin bowling back to the centre of world cricket. Merv also reflects on the environment of that era of Australian cricket and the impact Shane had on teammates, opponents and the game itself. A conversation filled with perspective, stories and insight from one of cricket’s most influential periods. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
