Shane Warne 'hid vodka in Gatorade bottles' as ex-teammate lifts lid on boozy exploits

Shane Warne Stuart MacGill Cricket

Stuart MacGill has revealed that he and Shane Warne used to hide vodka in their Gatorade bottles while on tour, with the former Australian leg-spinner opening up about his relationship with the late cricket legend.

MacGill and Warne were Australian teammates in the 1990s and early 2000s, with Warne's status as the greatest leg-spinner of all-time limiting MacGill to just 44 Test appearances in just over ten years. The majority of MacGill's game time came when Warne was either injured or suspended for a year for failing a drugs test, with the pair only playing 16 Test matches together.

MacGill later revealed that to be his "biggest regret", with the pair becoming firm friends off the field. "Most of the Test matches that Shane and I played together, he was either coming into an injury or coming out of an injury so it wasn't fair," he said in an appearance on the 82 Days Till The Ashes podcast.
