Shane !DECEASED Warne

Former Australian International Cricketer

Shane Warne is widely regarded as one of the finest leg spin bowlers in the history of cricket. In 2000, he was selected by a panel of cricket experts as one of the five Wisden Cricketers of the Century, the only specialist bowler selected in the quintet. For all his on-pitch and off-pitch controversies, Warne's place in cricketing posterity has been assured by the fact that he has overturned the domination of cricket by fast bowling that had prevailed for two decades before his debut.
