Fifth Test - Australia v England: Day Three
Shane Warne made his debut in 1992

It is no understatement to call Shane Warne the 'God of leg-spin'. A career that was marred by controversies also saw batsmen getting bamboozled 708 times in 145 tests by the magical leg-spin.

It all started for Warne at the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground on January 2, 1992, against an opposition that tormented him his whole career i.e India. Like many other occasions, Warne had a forgettable outing against India returning with the figures of 1/150 from 45 overs.

The miraculous career ended at the same venue 15 years later against England in January 2007. Warne top-scored with the bat in his last test innings (71) and picked two wickets in his last test.

Be it 'the ball of the century' to Mike Gatting or the Andrew Strauss' dismissal at the Edgbaston in 2005, Warne has shown the ability to defy the laws of physics like no one else.
