Producers of the new Shane Warne musical be warned - the big fella ain't happy.
The Aussie spin king has hit out at the show's creators, saying there should be a law against it.
Speaking from London, where he is playing in the World Series of Poker Europe tournament, Warne said he was "disappointed" that Shane Warne The Musical has gone ahead without his permission.
"I have had 13 unauthorised biographies done in my life and the first one I read was completely wrong," he said.
"You should have permission off anyone to write about their life."
The 24-song show, from the team behind the hit musical Keating!, features tunes with titles such as Take the Pill and What an SMS I'm In.
"I'm a pretty easy target for a few cheap jokes but I brought some of that on myself," he said.

Greg Tingle comment
Warne's winning a few hands in Poker with the Pacific Poker and World Series connection, but is spinning out on damage control back down under in Australia. This raises the question... should he give the poker matches a break, focus on PR and crisis management in Australia, or consider switching brands. I would bet money that the likes of Virgin Games or PKR would like to have Warnie on board, but it sounds like he better make the trip across the Asia Pacific first to sort out the musical. Who is Warnie's agent these days, and what are they doing about it?
