Over his career the world class bowler became noted as much for the thumb he used to send text messages as the skill of his spin fingers.
But he was happy to send himself up as a Shane Warne impersonator in the company of Australia's favourite TV comedy pairing played by Jane Turner and Gina Riley on the Seven Network.
Regardless of his high-profile indiscretions, 2.3 million viewers tuned in at 7.30pm for their final dose of Kath and Kim series four.
It was by far the most watched program last night with the viewer flow on giving Seven's My Name Is Earl an average of 1.57 million viewers.
Despite John Howard finally naming a date for the next federal election yesterday, commercial news broadcasts performed below average.
Usually Sunday's news bulletins are among the week's biggest raters, both Seven and Nine's bulletins only managed to attract about 1.3 million viewers.
Kath and Kim and My Name Is Earl tipped the balance in Seven's favour for a two percentage point primetime win ahead of Nine, which got good value from its Sunday movie that averaged 1.2 million viewers.
Seven's numbers could have been more impressive were it not for Perth's marathon Telethon pushing Kath and Kim back to 9pm.
Nine's new game show The Singing Bee didn't attract many back to its hive on its second outing, with the show's audience dropping to just over one million viewers, not an attractive figure at 6.30pm.
From next week, Seven will be running its own family fun game show in the same timeslot with National Bingo Night hosted by Tim Campbell.
