Shane Warne's Century: My Top 100 Test Cricketers

With a flamboyant approach to the game on and off the pitch, Australia's greatest bowler Shane Warne is an irresistible cricketing force. Here he candidly profiles 100 players from every Test nation who have had the most significant impact on his cricketing life. Warne has never scored a Test century, although he has reached 99 three times, so he wants to set the record straight by writing about a century of cricketing stars whom he has encountered during his career. From fellow Australian legends Allan Border, Steve Waugh, Ricky Ponting, and Glen McGrath to adversaries such as Brian Lara, Sachin Tendulkar, Jonty Rhodes, and Freddie Flintoff, plus a dream team 11 of those Test players he would have loved to have played with, Warne serves up highly readable anecdotes and opinion. Throughout the book, Warne opines on the serious issues affecting the game today, such as cheating and match fixing, and assesses a number of unhappy professional relationships of his own, including those with Sri Lankan all-rounder star Arjuna Ranatunga and South African captain Graeme Smith. This a genuine page-turner by one of cricket’s most popular stars is a must-read for all cricket fans.
