FORMER Hampshire skipper Shane Warne has declared his American odyssey a huge success and will return to the States.

The Australian leg-spinning legend has just finished a three-game t20 series in New York, Houston and Los Angeles.

The three-game series began a week ago in New York, moved to Houston on Wednesday and ended at Los Angeles' iconic Dodger Stadium on Saturday.

The series pitted Warne's Warriors against former Indian captain Sachin Tendulkar's Blasters squad, with players coming out of retirement including Ricky Ponting, one-time Hampshire all-rounder Wasim Akram, Curtly Ambrose and Brian Lara.

Warne and Tendulkar came up with the idea of a golden oldies series as a way to take the game to regions like the States where cricket has a low profile.

After a crowd of 36,000 in New York and 27,000 in Houston, the official attendance in the 56,000-seat Dodger Stadium was 20,900.

Just like the first two games, the crowd in Los Angeles was largely expatriates from the India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, not the large contingent of curious Americans Warne and Tendulkar hoped.

"We're all going to be back here," Warne, who hit a six to seal a thrilling victory for his team in the final game.

With LA sports fans able to go to a Dodger baseball game for $US9, the minimum ticket price for Warne’s All Star game was steep at $US50 and the best seats $US175.

The high ticket prices were criticised by US media and US fans in social media.

Warne and Tendulkar have said they might lower the prices next time.

They also kept open the possibility of taking the All-Star games to Australia and other nations.

Warne's Warriors appeared to be longshots to win when Tendulkar's Blasters scored 219-5 off their 20 overs.

Tendulkar took advantage of Dodger Stadium's short boundaries by smashing 56 runs off 27 balls, including six sixes.

In reply,Ponting hit 43 off 25 balls and Jaques Kallis belted 47 runs from 23 balls.

When Kallis fell with two runs needed from two balls, Warne strode to the wicket and claimed the victory with a six.

Warne said: “I am not really surprised by the response because when me and Sachin sat down to conceptualise this league, we had imagined a good response and I am glad that it is turning out to be true.

“The way we have been treated has been fantastic. The fans have created a great atmosphere.”
