Description

A superb portrait of the most brilliant cricketer of his generation Mike Atherton


Shane Warne dominated cricket on the field and off for almost thirty years - his skill, his fame, his personality, his misadventures. His death in March 2002 rocked Australians, even those who could not tell a leg-break from a leg-pull. But what was it like to watch Warne at his long peak, the man of a thousands international wickets, the incarnation of Aussie audacity and cheek?

Gideon Haigh saw it all, still cant quite believe it, but wanted to find a way to explain it. In this classic appreciation of Australias crickets greatest figure, who doubled as the nations best-known man, Haigh relieves the highs, the lows, the fun and the follies. The result is a new way of looking at Warne, at sport and at Australia.

Bloody brilliant... As good as anything I have read on the game Guardian
