Product Description

Book Description

A collection of entertaining portraits of cricket stars by a modern-day sporting legend

Product Description

With a flamboyant approach to the game on and off the pitch, Australia's greatest bowler Shane Warne is an irresistible cricketing force. In Shane Warne's Century, he candidly profiles 100 players from every Test nation who have had the most significant impact on his cricketing life.

Warne is famous for having never scoring a Test century, although he came tantalisingly close on several occasions. He now wants to set the record straight by writing about a century of cricketing stars he has encountered during his illustrious career, The famous names featured here include fellow Australian legends Allan Border, Steve Waugh, Ricky Ponting and Glenn McGrath, as well as adversaries such as Brian Lara, Sachin Tendulkar, Jonty Rhodes and Freddie Flintoff. Warne also puts together a dream Test match of those he would have loved to have played alongside versus a team of international legends. Pulling no punches and giving a fascinating insight into the game, Warne serves up highly readable anecdotes and opinions.

Throughout the book, Warne covers the serious issues affecting cricket today, such as cheating and match-fixing, and assesses a large number of professional relationships he has enjoyed and endured, including those with Sri Lankan star Arjuna Ranatunga and South African captain Graeme Smith.

Shane Warne's Century is a genuine page-turner by one of cricket's most popular stars and is a must-read for all cricket fans.

Even dyed-in-the-wool England fans have learned to love Shane Warne - would the Barmy Army sing `Wish you were English' to any other Aussie? Warne is a man worth listening too, a cricketer blessed with a sharp cricket brain as well as extravagant skills - the best captain Australia never had. In this book he gives an insight into what made (and makes) his great rivals and team-mates tick. So these short essays make fascinating reading; no doubt these observations were in part compiled during a career in which the spinner used every honest means available to win - especially psychological warfare. As Warne admits, list compiling is a purely subjective exercise (Darren Lehmann 30 places higher than Desmond Haynes?) and there's bound to be omissions and ranking that will provoke debate. But this is the sort of book cricket lovers relish; there's plenty of humour and anecdotes galore from a man who is fulsome in his praise of others, even some who were considered bitter enemies. Easily digestible, I recommend this book highly.

This is not a cricket book for the stat-anoraks (though some Test stats are included) but you'd go a long way to find a more thoughtful, concise insight into what makes great players tick. As one of the true greats himself, Warne is well placed to give a verdict on both opponents and team-mates and he does so in typically forthright fashion. Whatever your view of his occasional on-field altercations the overall feeling as you read this is of a guy who genuinely respects and admires fellow players, who bears no grudges and who is realistic enough to know that you never stop learning. Warne also reveals snippets of his own tactics against individual batsman and for any young spin bowler this is really fascinating stuff. Few readers - if any - will ever aspire to match Warne's skill and technique but assessing a batsman's strengths and weaknesses, and formulating a proper attack plan, is a great weapon even for club players.

This memoir is readable and funny - ideal if you like dipping in and out of books - and I'd recommend it to cricket lovers, even English ones. Funny, but Warney seems so much more likeable now he's not helping win the Ashes.
