David Huseey says Warne an inspiration

TheMelbourne Stars cricketer David Hussey says captain Shane Warne's shirt-grabbing performance in last Sunday's Big Bash league game was inspirational.

In the Twenty20 match Hussey, brother of test great Mike, had his path blocked and his shirt tugged by Melbourne Renegades allrounder Marlon Samuels as Hussey turned for a run.

When it was Samuels' turn to bat, Warne hurled abuse at the West Indies international and grabbed Samuels' shirt.

Warne received a one-match ban for the act.

Hussey says Warne is a tactical genius and his true colours will be on show in next week's semi-finals.
