Joining the league of noble citizens doing their part in the midst of Australia’s dark hour is none other than Shane Warne. The cricketing legend has just offered his iconic baggy green for auction – which has already garnered bids well over $300,000.
This cap shares a rich and storied history with Warnie himself. Worn throughout his 145-Test career, it was present for when he made his mark on the international stage. As well as his domestic record of taking 708 wickets.
But just to solidify the authenticity, the cap will also come with an autographed certificate verifying that it is a bona fide piece of apparel worn by the King of Spin himself.
“Everyone is in this together and we continue to find ways to contribute and help on a daily basis,” Warne wrote in an Instagram post.
“I hope my baggy green can raise some significant funds to help all those people that are in desperate need.”
The cap will go to the highest bid with the auction officially closing on Friday the 10th of January, 10:00AM AEDT. All proceeds will go towards the Australian Red Cross Disaster Relief and Recovery Fund. You can see the goods for yourself (and maybe even place a bid) at pickles.com.au.
