The spin king's younger daughter, Summer, 9, was keen to make an impression when she sashayed onto the ground with Warne's glamorous actress fiancee, Elizabeth Hurley, and the cricketer's other two children, Brooke, 13, and Jackson, 11, as well as her future step-brother, Damian.
Hurley's nine-year-old son appeared unsure what to make of Summer's antics, before the group watched Hurley toss the coin for the limited-overs match against the Sydney Thunder.
Warne, 42, who retired from international cricket about five years ago, almost missed the first game of his return to the big time after seriously burning his fingers in a bacon barbecuing accident early last week.
Hurley is spending her first Christmas in Australia with Warne and his family.
The cricketer seemed thrilled as his girlfriend took part in the cricket affair, tweeting to his thousands of followers in the lead-up to the game: ''Hope the big heels don't get stuck in the turf next to Tony Greig's old key!!!!''
