'Love this': Shane Warne shamed by ripped 20-year-old son

SPECIAL SUMMER: Australia's stunning plan to play five-Test India series at one ground

'NO IDEA': David Warner roasted over horrendous social media video

Suffice it to say the junior Warne boasts a much better rig than his old man did at the same age, when Shane ventured over to England to play county cricket.

By his own admission, Shane wasn’t a perfect picture of peak performance when he was with county club Accrington, who released him on ‘performance’ grounds despite to soon-to-be king of spin taking 73 wickets at 15.4 during his stint.

Warne was nevertheless impressed with his offspring’s hard work in the gym, commenting separately ‘love this’ and ‘proud’ on Jackson’s posts.

The younger Warne couldn’t help but fire back, showing a glimpse of his old man’s instinct for sledging.

“I wanna see you when you were 20!” Jackson retorted.

Shane Warne pic with Michael Jordan sets internet alight

It's fair to say the sporting world can't get enough of all things Michael Jordan right now, following the release of ESPN's highly anticipated documentary series, The Last Dance.

Basketball fans lapped up the first two episodes of the Chicago Bulls documentary when they were released on Monday night.

Cricket great Shane Warne is clearly among those who were enamoured with the first two episodes of the new Netflix series.

Australia's greatest Test wicket-taker posted an old photo of himself with Jordan, back when they were both in their playing days.

Warne captioned with photo with: “Really enjoyed the first two episodes of the (Michael Jordan) documentary and bought back some great memories of hanging with the great MJ at Nike in the states!”

Curiously, Jordan was wearing a Chicago White Sox top in the image, suggesting it was taken during his short-lived stint in baseball in 1994.

Less than two days after posting the picture to his Instagram account, Warne's throwback snap has received well over 48,000 likes and countless replies.

Many captioned the pic with the term 'GOAT' as Jordan and Warne are considered by many to be the greatest exponents of their respective sports.

Both men were famous for wearing the number 23 in their playing days, with Warne possibly adopting the number as an homage to the basketball legend.
