Sky Sports Cricket Podcast · Jackson Warne shares memories of his father, Shane · 14 Jan 2026 podcast

He would always treat people the same and he would always introduce himself first of all.

He'd say, hello, I'm Shane One.

Now, everybody knew who he was.

But he didn't assume people knew who he was.

And I always liked that about him.

I always thought that was a measure of his kind of humility, really.

Okay, well here we are, the Australian Sports Museum and the bowels of the MCG and this permanent exhibition of your dad's memorabilia.

First of all, tell us how it came about.

So there's about 40 odd items on display here and we'll have a look around at some of them, but there's a lot more.

So they were just in like storage boxes, were they, heading away?

one or two bits and bobs, but I don't know where they are.

And I'm not that kind of person to look back, really.

I tend to look forward.

OK, well, in this glass case is memorabilia from that game at Old Trafford, the famous Gatting Ball.

There's the shirt, Man of the Match award, the ball and the boots and the stump.

I love on the stump, Jackson, he's written in brackets, that ball.

The story, actually, is that there was a journalist in the Sunday Times called Robin Marler, who was an English journalist, and he was the first one that day to say it's the ball of the century, and that's how it kind of...

started up and it became the ball of the century.

First ball.

Lethal.
