Warne Honoured by Swann
Shane Warne is one of the greatest bowlers to have ever played the game and considered by many to be the greatest to have ever lived. He was the first player to ever break seven hundred wickets finishing his test career with seven hundred and eight wickets in one hundred and forty five test matches.
He was also prolific in one day internationals taking two hundred and ninety three in just less than two hundred games for the Australian national team. The forty two year old leg spinner has now swapped the sport for the commentary box, and has been a popular commentator since retiring from all forms of cricket in 2008 after winning the Indian Premier League with the Chennai super kings where he played in a dual role of captain and coach. The player is also well known for applying for his home state of Victoria and English side Hampshire.
England’s Grahame Swann has recently be compared to the Australian spinner, but Swann was quick to dismiss the comparisons as a “wind-up” believing that he is not even in the same league as the Australian record breaker. Swann even went as far to say that Warne was the greatest of all time and could have dismissed an entire team with a mango; such was his ability with the ball.
Warne remains involved in cricket playing in charity matches and also doing coaching, which he hopes he can continue to a higher level. Warne has already met with a number of international spinners for one on one discussion including Grahame Swann who said he was honoured to have the chance to meet and discuss the game with someone who is a cricketing legend. Warne will always be remembered for his ability and will for a long time be considered one of the best to ever play the game.
