All things Shane Warne,
World Record holder: 674 test wicketsFavorite Warne moment?
I am the first to admit there has been far too much non cricket attention on Shane Warne of late. Let us not forget he is human with failings, he is also a very public figure. At the end of the day though he is also the greatest leg spinner ever. On top of that he is the World record holder for test wickets and has provided much entertainment for the last 12 years or so. So my question today is what is your finest Warne moment? Comment on yours and in a couple of days I'll let you know mine. I have many but I don't want my ones to influence yours. So go for it and let Bowled Warney and the world know and lets talk about cricket.

My favorite moments of Warne are his duals with Sachin Tendulkar on Cricket field. SRT can surely claim to be one of the few who had upper hand against Shane Warne but the it was never an one sided one
Sachin is THE master batsman, so yes their tussles are legendary, yet great to watch.
For me in will always be THAT ball, against Gatting first Ashes ball bowled by the master. It announced him, and will be almost impossible to top.
I remember this whole setup he went through in a Test against pakistan. The last ball of the day's play, and after lots of drama- as if he were about to conduct an ochestra soon- he promptly went and bowled a hapless Basit Ali around his legs. It was classic Warne, and while the moemtt was great, it was the feel of 'a warne thing' that I remember so well.
Similair to one day, either against England or New Zealand when on the last ball of the day, he called up Ian Healey, keeper at the time, for a midwicket conference. This went on for about 1 minute, he then went back and bowled the final ball of the day and got the wicket. When asked later what they talked about both said they were discussing what they were going to have for tea that night. A great strategy...
What about his hat trick at the MCG against the poms, Boonie taking the great diving, lunging catch. That rates up there for me.
