'WARNE: Treasures of a Legend'
A special exhibition celebrating Shane Warne, and the moments that saw him crowned the ‘King of Spin’, is now open at the Australian Sports Museum at the MCG.
He captivated the world with his talent and signature skills, and now fans will have the chance to discover prized items from Shane Warne’s sporting career. WARNE: Treasures of a Legend invites you to explore Warne’s own collection, with personal items and memorabilia carefully annotated by the legend himself.
Highlights of the display include the famous ‘Gatting Ball’, his 1999 Cricket World Cup winners medal, worn Test match shirts and boots, and his iconic floppy white hat. Get up close with the ball Warne bowled to achieve his 700th Test wicket in 2006, and reminisce, or simply imagine, how it felt to be part of the standing ovation in his home crowd at the ‘G.
Meet Naman . . .
“Growing up in Amritsar, Punjab, I came from a large Indian business family - all of whom are big foodies. If all the family members eat together, it seems like a gathering. I miss those days. At the very young age of 9, I found myself watching mum in the kitchen making the base of all curries and use to ask her a lot of questions about all the spices. One thing she told me is if the base of any curry is well cooked, it'll turn out to be a very good dish, whether adding vegetables or protein. Just keep it simple and flavours will follow.”
