Cricket: Warne leads Aussie war party

Shane Warne will captain Australia for the first time in today's World Series match against New Zealand in Sydney.

He takes over the limited-overs role from the injured Steve Waugh, and promised to adopt aggressive tactics since victory would put Australian on the verge of a meeting with South Africa in the final.

"We'll be attacking, for sure," he said. "Probably you will see some weird things but I will take it like any other game and go out and do my best."
