Spin legend Shane Warne was involved in race row over his joke on micro blogging site which involved the N-word.

 

The former Australian cricketer sparked a controversy when he asked fans to rearrange certain words including “Nggeri”.

 

Latter, he said it was supposed to be spelled “ginger” but was blasted by fans who branded him racist, while one threatened to report him.

 

“Sorry but seriously that was wrong. Not funny on any level,” the Sun quoted User Mrs MDS as tweeting.

 

“Have just had to unfollow @warne888 due to one of his tweets,” she tweeted.

 

“Shane Warne should stop now,” Daniel Colasimone said.
