Shane Warne's love child

Australian cricket has a well deserved reputation for knowing how to make a buck. I suspect Steve Waugh is not happy about their latest effort however. Shamelessly trading on his reputation as a family man and all round good bloke, he was Australian of the Year in 2004, Cricket Australia are selling a lifelike baby dressed in Australian garb called "Little Steve". He can be yours for a lazy $250 AUD.

I guess calling him little Shane wasn't an option?

I guess we can look forward to Ritchie and the gang trying to sell us these in between balls during the next summer of cricket.

Yup. 9 is brilliant at never missing a marketing opportunity but you've gotta say this is just damn weird.
