    "editor1": "<p><strong>Melbourne, May 11:&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;Former Australia cricketer Shane Warne hit out at the country&#39;s obsession with the &#39;Baggy Green&#39; cap and according to him, the iconic cap evokes &#39;verbal diarrhoea&#39; from its followers. Although Warne launched a scathing attack on this obsession, he stated it doesn&#39;t mean he didn&#39;t like playing for Australia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>His love for the country isn&#39;t limited to a cap, according to the second highest wicket-taker in Test cricket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I always believed that you didn&#39;t have to wear the Baggy Green cap to say how much you loved playing cricket for Australia,&quot; Warne told Triple M radio station as per au.sports.yahoo.com.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I loved playing cricket for Australia, and I didn&#39;t need to wear that cap or have that verbal diarrhoea about it, I just enjoyed playing cricket for Australia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I always felt that if I wore a white floppy hat or wore my Baggy Green cap it meant exactly the same, I was playing for Australia,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Warne also recalled an incident from 2001 when the team was asked to wear the cap while sitting in audience at a Wimbledon final.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I didn&#39;t need to wear it to Wimbledon, which was just sickening, that they&#39;d wear it to Wimbledon,&quot; Warne said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I actually refused, myself and Mark Waugh refused, but some of those other guys, yeah, they wore it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Sitting at Wimbledon in your green Baggy Green cap, come on mate, please. That was embarrassing.&quot;<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
