'I've got a vest, a jumper, and a thermal underneath there as well, to stay warm, because as I said it's four degrees,' Shane continued. 

The athlete, who took up golfing after retiring from cricket, then said he was 'bloody nervous' about the Dunhill golf tournament but was excited to see his kids again.
