Top 5 Test bowlers with most wickets in winning cause

#1 Shane Warne - 510 wickets from 92 Tests

Warne's unparalleled tactical nous enabled him to outclass even accomplished batsmen

In the all-time list of players who have participated in the most number of won Tests, Shane Warne is second only to erstwhile teammate Ricky Ponting. While the dynamic batsman was involved in a gargantuan 108 Australian victories, the magical leg-spinner saw his team triumph in 92 of his 145 appearances at the highest level. With his mesmerising ability to turn the ball handsomely on any type of surface, he contributed enormously to Australia's unfettered supremacy before and after the millennium.

Warne's tally of 510 wickets in victorious Tests remains the highest in the history of the format. The iconic wrist-spinner's terrific average of 22.47 and lethal strike-rate of 51.2 stand as testament to his glowing legacy as one of the eminent match-winners in the annals of Test cricket. 27 of his 37 five-wicket hauls and 7 of his 10 ten-wicket match hauls came in winning cause. The legendary Australian spinner's match haul of 11 wickets in the 1998 Sydney Test against South Africa ranks among his best ever performances.
