'Poker-faced' Warne's balancing act between Hurley and Ashes

Former Australian spinner Shane Warne is currently in Las Vegas with girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley and has tweeted his support for Australian debutant Ashton Agar, even as the cricketer spent most of his time beside the pools and poker tables of Vegas.

According to news.com.au, Warne was busy soaking up the sun beside a pool as the new breed of Aussie cricketers strived for Ashes success, with his mind completely away from the battle being fought at Trent Bridge.

However, the report said that the spinner was still showing some interest in the task ahead of Michael Clarke in England, along with giving teenage debutant Ashton Agar a pat on the back.

The star was confused how he could watch the Ashes series on his iPad while playing Poker, the report added.

Warne added that Australia could take 20 wickets and win because England batsmen crumbled under pressure.
