Former Australian spin king Shane Warne believes fans won't racially taunt Indian players this summer as revenge for the treatment handed out to Andrew Symonds on the recent sub-continent tour.

And he thinks his luckless understudy Stuart MacGill should get the job for the summer Test series.

The taunting of Symonds in India on the recent tour has the game's authorities bracing for a backlash during the upcoming visits by Sri Lanka and India.

Warne says Australian fans have been generous in the past in congratulating achievements on the field by visiting players and believes it will be the case again this summer.

"Australian crowds are pretty good," he said.

Warne was speaking at the opening of an American doughnut store at Crown Casino which is kicking in $1 for every doughnut sold today for the Shane Warne Foundation which provides support to ill and underprivileged children.

He thinks MacGill, who has been kept out of Australian teams over the years because of Test wicket record holder Warne, is the logical choice to succeed him.

"He's been around for a long time and deserves his chance," Warne said.

"I hope he does well."

While Warne backed MacGill he also praised Brad Hogg, who impressed in the Australian one-day matches in India.

And he also said the time was approaching to put a young spinner into the team where he could mature amongst more experienced players.

"When a team is successful you can get a young player in there with the other players who know the ropes," he said.

Warne said he has been in talks with Cricket Australia to find a way for him to help cricketers playing in the domestic competition in a mentoring role.

"I love Australian cricket and if I can help out in any way ... I'm talking to Cricket Australia about mentoring and working with captains at state level in conjunction with spinners," Warne said.
