Cricket Australia’s General Manager of Events Joel Morrison says the MCG was where the “great king” Shane Warne did his best work and wearing a floppy hat at the Boxing Day Test “certainly” could become a tradition.
Mr Morrison said it was a “fantastic” start to the Test with many spectators wearing floppy hats and zinc in tribute to the late cricket legend, who was also given a standing ovation.
“It’s an occasion that is both a tinge of sadness but a reflection on such a magnificent career and someone who has had such a fantastic impact on many people’s lives, both inside cricket and outside of cricket,” he told Sky News Australia.
