Warnie leaves the media gasping for words

Case 1:
Cricinfo's headline for an article on Monday's game: When there's a Warne, there's a way. Though I wonder if they meant Where there's a Warne ...

Case 2:
Cricbuzz's Gokul Gopal gets all lyrical. The article starts off
"Misty Morning, Clouds in the sky, Without Warning a wizard walks by..

..Casting his shadow, weaving his spell, Funny clothes, tinkling bell..

..Never talking, just keeps walking, spreading his magic"

These are my favourite lines from the song 'Wizard' by Black Sabbath, released in February 1970 - 4 months after the birth of a cricketing Wizard by the name of Shane Keith Warne. Sabbath had composed the 'Wizard' inspired by the character Gandalf from the Lord of the Rings. But this song can definitely epitomize the conjuror from Australia, who dazzled the cricketing world with his magical fingers
.

and this is how it ends
As for Rajasthan and the likes of Shetty sisters, they would be singing..

"Sun is Shining, Clouds have gone by, All the people give a happy sigh..

.. He has passed by, giving his sign, Left all the people feeling so fine..

..Never talking, just keeps walking, spreading his magic"

Case 3:
The Ahmedabad Mirror's Tapan Joshi gets technically correct with those good ol' idioms.

In his native Victoria, they say, “Wait till the Fat Lady spins.” Well, that’s what they now say in Rajasthan as well, as Shane Warne once again turned the match and tables on their heads — absolutely no pun intended — here on Monday night against Deccan Chargers

We just can't wait for Rajasthan to win it again this year.
