Profile
The spin wizard has almost single-handedly revitalized the art of leg spin. He is a delight to watch when he is bowling. Today, he is role model for youngsters all over the world. The cricket fields of Australia are full of youngsters trying to bowl the googly or flipper. Warne combines a complete armoury of leg spinner, top spinner, googly and flipper, with enormous spin, and considerable accuracy. He bowls from a few paces, varies his pace and flight well, and in many ways is the complete leg-spin bowler. He is a useful lower order bat, able to hit hard.
