The Ashes reached new levels of excitement
in 2005, with England' s priceless win under Michael Vaughan's leadership, and
Freddy Flintoff and co's determination to end Australian domination of the past
18 years. One man who kept the Australians in the series, right up until the
last day of the final test match at the Oval, was their talismanic leg bowler
Shane Warne. Quite simply, Warne is the finest cricketer ever to play the game -
and acknowledged as such by his contemporaries and commentators alike. With over
600 test match victims, he managed to take 40 wickets against England, but still
ended up on the losing team. Putting the torrid tales of his private life aside,
Warne always lets his spinning do the talking for him, becoming the scourge of
many international batsmen. Now, for the first time, we provide a superb
biographical account of his career in pictures, with commentary from the great
man himself. Supported with photographs from his own personal collection, plus
superb professional photography of his key moments in first class cricket - this
book will chart the rise and rise of the game's greatest exponent of not only
spin, but also of never-say-die cricket. Released with perfect timing for the
upcoming Ashes contest in Australia in 2006, this is the story, in pictures of a
sporting legend that everyone will want to buy.
Shane Warne is possibly the greatest leg
spin bowler of all time. Since 2004 he has held the record for the most wickets
taken by any bowler in Test cricket, and in August 2005, he became the first
bowler to take 600 Test wickets. As well as playing for Australia, he captains
Hampshire. Richie Benaud captained Australia in 28 of his 63 Tests. This
leg-spinning all-rounder never lost a series while in charge. He is only one of
10 Australians to have scored more than 10,000 runs and taken over 500 wickets
in first-class cricket. He is now of course a hugely popular commentator. Since
1960 he has been a fixture in the commentary box. He is a close friend and huge
fan of Shane Warne.
A real gem for any fan or collector.
