Shane Warne has surely seen better days.
The Australian great leg-spinner has had an an eventful few days. After notably ripping into former captain Steve Waugh for being "selfish", he went on to make the outrageous revelation that human beings had, in fact, been created by aliens.
Now, while participating in the Australian reality show I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here, he has been bitten on his head by an anaconda.
The episode which aired on Thursday night required the leg-spinner to dunk his head into boxes filled with frogs, scorpion, cockroaches and rats.
Finally, when he dipped his head in a box full of snakes, a non-venomous anaconda rared up and bit him.
Thankfully, he is all right – news reports stated that Warne was treated with antiseptic fluid and is being monitored for signs of infection.
Pity the anaconda wasn't a batsman.
