He has declined to comment on the issue so far.Waugh said today that Warne deserved to be given a fair chance because the full story had not come out yet. “I am part of the cricket side, and we have some loyalty to each other … I feel for Shane and what’s happened,” he said. “He’s human, he makes mistakes and I think he pays for his pretty heavily. I certainly support Shane and his family.”
