During the Boxing Day test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, spectators are being encouraged to tip their floppy hats at 3:50pm each day in tribute to Shane Warne, referencing his Test Cap number and signature style. The tribute is led by cricket figures including Ricky Ponting and Michael Vaughan, with participation from other notable players throughout the event.

In addition to the tribute, fans are urged to make use of 56 free Shane Warne Legacy health check stations located in and around the venue. The health initiative has provided nearly 400,000 checks nationwide, with at least one attendee crediting the program for early detection and treatment of a heart issue.

Spectators attending the Boxing Day test at the MCG are being urged to tip their floppy hats in a touching tribute to cricketing great Shane Warne. The moment will take place at 3.50pm each afternoon, a nod to Warne's Test Cap number and honouring a look made iconic by Warnie at his home ground. Led by Ricky Ponting and Michael Vaughan on day one, some of the game's biggest names will take part across the test. Beyond the tribute, fans are being urged to prioritise their health, with 56 free Shane Warne Legacy health check stations operating around and in the ground. It's a really good story of somebody that the first year this had an activation that actually came here on the first day, went to the hospital that afternoon, got stents and came back for day three and if he hadn't got that check he wouldn't be here or he doesn't know what he'd be doing. Since its inception, it's delivered almost 400,000 checks nationwide.
