Aussies will rally behind Warne - Slater

Former Australian teammate Michael Slater, whose private life famously spilled into his cricketing career, believes Shane Warne's marriage breakdown will cause little distraction to his side's Ashes campaign. Reporting on 7News Slater, who underwent a separation from his wife Stephanie during the 2001 Ashes tour, was hopeful Warne's teammates would rally around the legspinner, who announced over the weekend he and wife Simone had parted after almost 10 years of marriage.
