Shane Warne

Shane Keith Warne (born September 13, 1969 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia), is an Australian cricketer, and captain of Hampshire. He is one of the greatest leg spin bowlers in cricket history. In 2000, he was selected by a panel of cricket experts as one of the five Wisden Cricketers of the Century. Since October 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. He has, however, been plagued by scandals off the field throughout his playing career.
