Veteran cricket commentator Henry Blofeld has shared some of his best memories of Australia legend Shane Warne following his emotional state funeral on Wednesday at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Blofeld, 82, recalled the time Warne introduced him to Jägerbombs following a day's play in the 2016 Test match between England and Pakistan at Edgbaston. At the time, Blofeld was commentating on the game for BBC Test Match Special and joined fellow commentators Michael Vaughan and Phil Tufnell for a few drinks while out in Birmingham.
Warne, who was commentating on the Test for Sky Sports, joined the trio in a local bar and bought them all Jägerbombs, a popular drink made by dropping a shot of Jägermeister into an energy drink. Blofeld, who had never had one before, said he loved the drink so much he ended up having three and when he suggested the group go out again the next night they "chickened out".
