Warne meets Brumby, discusses plans to end attacks on Indians

Melbourne, Feb 5 (PTI) Australian spin legend Shane Warne
is all set to use his charm to soothe the frayed Indian nerves
Down Under after he met Victoria's Premier John Brumby on
Friday for discussing ways to end the violent attacks on the
community here.
Although Warne did not divulge what transpired during the
meeting, Brumby said the former spinner's services could be
sought in some promotional work to ease the escalating tension
between the local Australians and the Indians.
"We may well look at something like a friendship cricket
game, we'll be focused on selling the positives about our
state," Brumby was quoted as saying by 'ABC News'.
"Shane wants to help Victoria and put back into the
community. While we would both condemn in the strongest
possible terms, any act of violence or any act of
racially-motivated violence, we're also keen to keep this in a
context," he said.
Warne, who plays for the Rajasthan Royals in the Indian
Premier League, is immensely popular there and Brumby said
this would help the Oz government's planned campaign.
"Shane of course through his cricket, through his
prowess is greatly admired and greatly respected in India."
