One of the most effective bowlers in history, with good disguise on his top-spinner and fine control on two or three different googlies (balls bowled with spin that break unexpectedly in the opposite direction from that anticipated). His success promoted the almost-forgotten art of leg-spin and brought variety to a sport that had been dominated by fast bowling.
The first bowler to take 700 Test wickets.
Warn is come to cricket relatively late in his teenage years, and his relaxed manner, bleached hair, stud earring, and fondness for surfing made him a folk hero among young cricket fans around the world. He had played just seven matches in the Sheffield Shield domestic club competition before being selected for Australia, and he made his Test debut against India at Sydney in 1991–92. In the 1993 Ashes series against England,'warn' took 34 wickets in six tests at an average of 25.79. He was perhaps best remembered for one ball, bowled to England’s Mike Getting at Old Trafford, Manchester, in the 1993 series. The ball was a perfect example of the leg-spinner’s art, pitching on leg stump and spinning viciously past the bat to hit Getting’s off stump.
Warn's first ball in a Test in England and established a huge psychological advantage for warns and the Australian team, which lasted into the next Ashes series in 1994–95. In that warns, took 27 wickets at 20.33, including a match-winning 8 for 71 in the second innings of the first Test and a hat trick (three wickets in three balls) in the second Test.
1998 Warns faced controversy when it was revealed that he and fellow Australian cricketer Mark Waugh had taken bribes from an Indian bookmaker four years earlier.
The pair claimed they gave only pitch information and weather forecasts. (The two were secretly fined by the Australian Cricket Board soon after the bribes were given.) Despite the scandal, the warns was named one of the Five Cricketers of the Century by widen Cricketers’ Almanac in 2000.
In February 2003 Warns encountered further controversy when he was ejected from the World Cup in South Africa after a drug test revealed the presence of a banned diuretic; he subsequently received a 12-month ban. In his first Test match after his return in March 2004, he took his 500th wicket, becoming just the second bowler to have accomplished the feat.
By the end of the 2003–04 season, both Warns and Sri Lankan off-spin bowler Muralitharan had broken the record (519) for Test wickets set in 2001 by Courtney Walsh of the West Indies.
In 2007 Warns retired from Test cricket but continued to compete on the club level until 2011. His international career totals included an unprecedented 708 Test wickets; his record was broken by Muralitharan in 2007.
The aforementioned Wimbledon Club, playing in Hampshire on Broad halfpenny Down, was the predominant cricket force in the second half of the 18th century before the rise of the Markle bone Cricket Club (MCC) in London.
He is the one of the legend cricketer in world.
