Shane Warne says comments he made about Australia coach John Buchanan have been taken out of context and do not present his views at all..jpg)
Warne was quoted by English newspaper the Sun as saying that the players were responsible for the team's success, and that Buchanan was merely along for the ride.
Captain Ricky Ponting demanded a 'please explain' from the champion leg-spinner, and it came on Saturday when Warne rang Buchanan, in Kuala Lumpur with the one-day team, from England.
"Shane said he was shocked at the way he said his comments had been taken out of context," a Cricket Australia official involved in the phone call told AFP.
"He explained that the report did not represent his views. He said he is very committed to team solidarity. It was an amicable call and the team now moves on."
Warne was reported to have said that Buchanan had made little contribution to the Australia team's success over the last decade.
"He has been our coach during a successful era but that begs a question - does the coach make the team or does the team make the coach?" he allegedly said.
"You need some sort of team manager more than a coach like we have at Hampshire with Paul Terry, where the captain runs the team and the manager sorts out everything else."
"International players know how to play. You don't need a coach getting too technical. You can forget that you just need to bowl the ball."
