It's been a general trait of all (South Africa) captains over the years, especially Smith. That's the way they play.
More Quotes from Shane Warne:
The pressure's on us as far as I'm concerned. We have to play well for five days. If we don't play well, for the first time in nearly 20 years, we've lost the Ashes. Hopefully that'll make us respond and the guys will soak it up and see it as a challenge rather than fear it.Shane Warne
If he (Smith) wants to continue to make ridiculous statements and look like an idiot, he must just continue in this vein.
Shane Warne
Nor, he tried to insist, would the series' epic quality. If we don't win I won't enjoy it, ... As a Test cricketer - and I've played 120-odd 126 - the series you remember are the close ones. A two-day Test against Zimbabwe or Bangladesh is not that enjoyable. Going to India and being tested in their conditions, playing South Africa, playing England the way they are playing now - they are the series people remember. As players you want to be tested. You don't want easy games. At the moment everybody is being tested. A Test match is a test of your technique, your patience, a test of everything about you.
Shane Warne
I think he'll be fine because he's a champion, ... In these situations champions come to the top and if he can get the ball down to the other end then I think he'll play - he wouldn't let himself or the team down by saying he's right when he's not.
Shane Warne
It didn't really worry me whatsoever what he was saying. You can take yourself too seriously, take it for a bit of fun.
Shane Warne
If you're doing well it doesn't matter how old you are, ... There was all that stuff at the beginning of the series about how we wouldn't be able to stand up to back-to-back Tests. I'm the oldest in the side and I've done OK so that's rubbish.
