On Thursday Shane Warne took to social media to offer some advice and a stern warning to the young Australian. He added: "You're testing our patience mate, show us what you're made of."
"Please don't waste your talent, everyone in the world, especially us Australians want to respect u [sic]," Warne writes.
"You're testing our patience mate, show us what you're made of & how hungry you are to be the best in the world, it's time to step up & start winning, no excuses."
"No shame in losing, but show us you will never give up, that you will give it everything to be the best you can be, respect is earned not given ! I believe in you & know you can do it, but now's the time my friend..."
