England's former team captain Nasser Hussain paid tribute to legendary Shane Warne in his own style. Recalling several battles with the bigfoot spinner, Hussain said that Warne would "rule" him from there. Warne died in Thailand on March 4 at the age of 52, leaving the world of cricket in mourning. "He would be up there now and drag me, that's for sure." "He won't smile, he'll ride me, thanks," Hussain said in a video released by Sky Sports.

`1999, we were? Sydney. Bumble (David Lloyd) was our coach, we were really calm. I was in a breakdown, Shane bowled. He was captain, deputy captain. He insulted me, as always. I was saying, "Enjoy your last game, Shane, you'll never be the captain of Australia again." 15 minutes later, Gilchrist left Bowling Warren. Shane gave me a big rejection. Hussein added, "I cannot convey some of the words he said to you." Hussain's
the goal became the game's turning point when England has beaten afterward, going down 10 goals on 233 points.
Warne led Australia in 11 ODIs but was never appointed full-time captain.
But I will judge Shen. If you run into him, he will be the first to walk up to you in the locker room and say 'you played pretty well man, it was a hard blow'. Shane played hard on the field, but Shane was also very sincere and always very fair, "added Hussein.
Warren retired as one of the greatest cricketers to ever play the game. He had 708 test wickets to his name and 293 wickets in the ODI.

He was Hampshire captain for three seasons from 2005 to 2007. Warne withdrew from international cricket in January 2007 at the end of Australia's winning series over England in 2006-07.
