Shane Warne Biography

Shane Warne is one of the most popular and richest Cricket Player who was born on September 13, 1969 in Upper Ferntree Gully, Victoria, Australia. The former Australian cricketer widely believed to be among the greatest bowlers in sport’s past. He was a part of 145 Test matches in the national team between the years 1992-2007 and concluded his career with record-breaking 708 wickets.

Just a year after his retirement the record for Warne’s 708 wickets, was broken Less than a year after he retired, Warne’s record of 708 wickets was broken by Muttiah Muralitharan, who would go on to finish his international career with 800 wickets. He would end his career in international cricket with an impressive 800 wickets.

Shane Keith Warne (born 13 September 1969) is an Australian cricket commentator and former international cricketer who captained the Australian national team in One Day Internationals (ODI). Widely regarded as one of the greatest bowlers in the history of the game, Warne was named one of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year in the 1994 Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack. He was the Wisden Leading Cricketer in the World in 1997 (Notional Winner). He was banned from the sport in 2003 for testing positive for a prohibited substance. Following the ban, he was named Wisden Leading Cricketer in the World for the year 2004 in the 2005 Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack. 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 and the only one still playing at the time. He officially retired from all formats of cricket in July 2013.

After an inauspicious start to his Test career, Warne revolutionised cricket thinking with his mastery of leg spin, which many cricket followers had come to regard as a dying art due to its immense difficulty of execution. 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. Despite the presence of high quality spin bowlers such as the Indian spin quartet of the 1970s or Abdul Qadir on the Test scene, Australia’s fast bowlers Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thomson had dominated cricket in the early 1970s. Furthermore, from 1976 until the early 1990s, the West Indies had lost only one (ill-tempered and controversial) Test series with a bowling attack almost exclusively comprising fast bowlers. In the early 1990s, with the West Indies on the wane, Waqar Younis and Wasim Akram of Pakistan were assuming the mantle of the world’s most feared bowling combination. It was in that context that Warne’s tormenting of batsmen became so significant rather than his actual statistics. His humiliation of Mike Gatting and subsequent dominance, in particular, of English and South African batsmen, provided a welcome sight for cricket watchers weary of the relentless intimidation by West Indian bowlers of the 1980s and 1990s. His treatment of South African batsman Daryll Cullinan was such that Cullinan was said to have sought the help of a therapist to overcome Warne’s psychological hold. Warne was able to replicate the delivery against Nasser Hussein in a Master Class in an indoor practice centre.

He got married to Simone Callahan in 1995, however, the couple separated in 2005. There are three kids: Summer, Jackson, and Brooke.
