Description
Shane Warne was not only one of the greatest cricketers in the history of the game, he was also among the most charismatic. In a 15-year international career for Australia, his mastery of the complex art of leg-spin bowling tormented opponents, captivated crowds and gripped television viewers around the world.
At the turn of the 21st century, a distinguished panel of 100 journalists, commentators and former players were asked to name their five Cricketers of the Century for the 2000 edition of Wisden Cricketers' Almanack: Warne joined Don Bradman, Jack Hobbs, Garry Sobers and Viv Richards in the chosen five, a remarkable achievement given that he was only eight years into his career.
It was not just his 708 Test wickets that marked Warne out for greatness. He brought to cricket an unmatched sense of theartre while, away from the great arenas, he relished his celebrity status which brought him fame far beyond the boundary.
With a foreword by former Australia wicketkeeper Ian Healy, Warne in Wisden reproduces a wide-ranging array of the most revealing and intriguing moments from a stellar career, with extracts taken from Wisden's various publications.
