Australian cricket legend Shane Warne is usually at his quirky best in the commentary box. As Australia's batsmen plundered runs in the first two days of the ongoing Boxing Day Test, Shane Warner poked fun at New Zealand spinner Mitchell Santner. While commentating during the Australian innings, Warne asked Santner to ‘tuck in his shirt’.
A dominant day by Australia.

Aus vs NZ: Shane Warne roasts under-fire Mitchell Santner
Before criticising Santer for his untidy uniform, Shane Warne was dissecting his 'jerky' bowling action and inability to generate turn on the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) pitch. Santner eventually went wicketless as Australia hammered 467 to finish their first innings. The left-arm spinner ended with expensive figures of 20-1-82-0 and was replaced quite embarrassingly by Tom Blundell, the team's opening batsman who has hardly bowled even in domestic cricket, let alone international.

Meanwhile, Australia's domination continued on Day 2 after they resumed on their overnight score of 257-4. Travis Head top-scored in the innings by slamming his second Test century. Head scored 114 and he was involved in a 150-run stand with skipper Tim Paine. Useful contributions from Steve Smith (85), Tim Paine (79) and Marnus Labuschagne (63) propelled Australia’s score to 467.
