Shane Keith Warne. As long as the game of cricket is played his name will be remembered.

In an era when words like legend and icon are tossed around like confetti, when applied to Shane Warne the words don’t seem to do him justice.

Second only to Bradman in Australia, Warne was a colossus of the game, named one of the five greatest cricketers of the 20th century by Wisden when his career was only half finished.

The second half should see him included as one of the five cricketers of the 21st.
