Shane Warne My Autobiography

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.
