Warne received an honorary doctorate for his services to cricket from Southampton Solent University, Hampshire, on Wednesday and suggested that England players should call him The Professor in future.

He added: "I am officially the spin doctor now."

Warne, who turned 37, is captain of Hampshire, and received his doctorate at the county's Rose Bowl ground dressed in a gown and white trainers. "This is a great way to celebrate my birthday. Perhaps the England boys should call me 'The Doctor' or 'The Professor'," he said. "To be honest, they will probably call me anything they like. They usually do."


DR Warne hey......

i wonder how long it takes for him to relise he's not a Gynaecologist....
i sure he's trying to convince the ladies otherwise though!!!!

Just wait - given the time he now spends in England, he'll no doubt end up as Sir Shane Warne, MBE, OBE.
