Shane Warne, who died in 2022, is universally acknowledged as one of the greatest cricketers of all time and the greatest spin bowler ever. Warne in Wisden records the highlights of an exceptional career handpicked from all Wisden publications over a twenty-plus-year period and curated for a global audience. Warne in Wisden features coverage from Warne's first Test against India in 1992 where he took one wicket to his retirement from Test cricket in 2007, having taken 708 Test wickets. It includes complete reports and scorecards for key Tests, as well as Wisden's assessment of his impact on the English county game and the Indian Premier League, and his journey from master spinner to global celebrity. Warne combined a prodigious talent for leg-spin with a turbulent life off the pitch. While Wisden's focus was generally on his cricket, Warne in Wisden also relates the controversies and rows that earned him an occasional mention in the Chronicle section of the book. Wisden's authoritative and independent voice/writing provides a unique insight into one of the most discussed cricketers in history.
