Synopsis

With 356 wickets taken in 82 tests since his debut in 1991, Shane Warne is arguably the greatest spinner of all time. By the end of 1996, he had dismissed Gooch, Atherton, Stewart, and Thorpe—England's leading batsmen—six times each. In this insightful autobiography, Warne discusses his early ambitions and offers a colorful account of the various series in which he has been involved. He offers his personal views on sportsmanship and provides his thoughts on captaincy and the leg-spinners he respects most. His fascination with gambling and the conflict between his public persona and private life are also discussed. Honest and intriguing, this account is a must have for cricket fans.

Review:

Spicy revelations and treats galore. * Scotland on Sunday * A fascinating insight into top class sport. * Birmingham Evening Mail * Shane Warne's excellent autobiography is much easier to read than his bamboozling leg spin....the plain-talking Australian bowler's laid-back approach is translated effortlessly. * Sunday Express * Warne's thoughts on the English game and players, sledging, the Ashes, sponsership and the media are fascinating. * The Independent * Warne, who has had the last laugh on many a batsman, wants the last word and gets it. * Sunday Times *
