Talking to players is not new for Warne, who had earlier issued a two-part manifesto to fix some of the the issues hampering Australian cricket.

Yesterday, Warne was seen at the Chepauk ground here, having a lengthy chat with captain Michael Clarke, coach Mickey Arthur, fielding coach Steve Rixon and spinners Nathan Lyon and Xavier Doherty.

Warne, on the commentary panel for the first Test, walked on to the middle and spoke to the coaches and captain for about 20 minutes, reports Herald Sun.
