Shane Warne, no doubt encouraged by this sites great achievement to get him into blogsophere, has decided to set up his own blog, Shane's Blog.He will post regularly and it seems interact with his fans along the way. If you love Bowled Warney, you'll definately love Shane's blog.

Well Warney hasn't really set the world on fire in Bangladesh yet he has been his usual tight good self. After a sore shoulder in the first test he has actually bowled quite well taking 6 wickets at 31. But its the batting which has let him down. After Jason Gilispie's efforts yesterday, he must be spewin. Still well done Dizzy, stick it up em, the selectors that is.

The Australians were given their second cricket lesson inside 12 months by the lowly Bangladeshes today on a flat lifeless pitch. Finishing day 1 on 5 for 355, they not only scored their highest days test score but also blunted the best the Aussies had to offer including Shane Warne.

Test cricket's spin wizard Shane Warne says the Australian side threw out the bait to see what South African cricket captain Graeme Smith would do - and he swallowed it hook, line and sinker!Referring to the war of words between the two of them in the media, Warne likened it to catching fish: "It's like when you want to catch a big fish. You throw out the bait and wait. We did not have to wait

Another series, another whitewash, and this time in South Africa as the hosts suffered their first clean sweep loss for over 100 years. As for Warney seaming pitches didn't suit him but he still managed 15 victims at 27.33. Didn't have much impact in the first Test with three wickets, but bowled Australia to the series win at Durban with 2 for 80 and 6 for 86, and caused more problems in the

Warney finished the first day of the 3rd test with 1/49 taking his series tally to 11 and total wicket haul to 670. We will probably have to wait till the Ashes for the 700 mark to be broken, and then the flood gates will open.

Shane Warne once again weaved his magic under dark clouds of the African sky as he for the 35th time took a 5 wicket haul finishing with 6/86, as Australia dominated again to lead 2-0 in the best of 3 tests against South Africia in Durban.

Shane Warne became the first bowler to take 600 Test wickets when he had Marcus Trescothick caught behind on the first day of the third Test at Old Trafford. He reached the landmark in his 126th Test when, in his fifth over, Trescothick attempted a sweep and was caught behind off the back of the bat by Adam Gilchrist. Cricinfo have provided a few good articles to celebrate the occasion including

Shane Warne continued to mesmorize England today, as he had with The Strauss Ball last night. Finishing with 6/46 off 23.1 overs, including 2 6's in one over from Pieterson, Warne now has 599 test wickets and will have to wait a few more days to bring up the magical 600. The match is very evenly poised and Australia will have to bat at their best if they are to get the 282 runs required to win

Shane Warne created Test cricket history again a few moments ago when he ripped the ball past Andrew Strauss who couldn't believe what had happened.

Coming in at 6 for 262 with your side in a little trouble still 140 plus runs behind, most people would be a little cautious with the bat and value their wicket. Not Shane Warne, out embarrasingly trying to hit Giles out of the park and clean bowled, 2 feet down the crease for 8. What was the man thinking?

Hi to everyone out there in Warney land, a BIG apology for the silence over the past 2 weeks when all the action has hotted up. This was unavoidable, possibly unforgivable so will do my best to keep you all updated with all things Warney as he creeps towards the 600 wicket mark, after yesterdays amazing 1st day of the 2nd test where he eeked out 4 valuable wickets as England went on the attack.

Terry Jenner, Shane Warne's coach and confidant, has predicted that the English won't hesitate to employ mental-disintegration tactics against him during the Ashes series. Warne himself has been a big sledger in his time, best illustrated by his run-ins with Daryll Cullinan, but Jenner reckons that what goes around will come around over the next two months. According to a recent article in the

Shane Warne went on to post his second first class century, and second century this season as Hampshire captain, not out over night on 93 he went on to make 101. Will he be able to carry this form with the bat into the Ashes series and bring up his miaden Test century with the bat, he already has the record of scoring the most test runs without a test century, all 2518 of them.

Shane Warne returned to cricket in the best possible way today, smashing 93 not out from just 73 balls. In his comeback game as Hampshire captain, and subsequently last game for the season, Warne came in with his side deep in trouble at 7 for 189, his batting left his side in a great posoition as bad light ended the day at 8 for 331. He hit 11 fours and 3 huge sixes, one huge straight six to

Glenn McGrath, quoted in Khaleej Times Online, is predicting that his controversial team-mate Shane Warne may be even more motivated for the Ashes series after his latest sex scandal. McGrath said:“I am not going to talk about his personal life but I can talk about the cricket side of things.

As a passionate cricket lover, I feel it pails into insignificance after the events of the past few hours in London. I couldn't get too excited about last nights game, and not because Australia lost on a pitch that produced the most movement I had ever seen.

After some good comments to my previous post I decided to investigate the matter further, especially looking at the Warne and Murali records. It makes for some interesting reading. The StatsGuru at Cricinfo shows a full comparison. Interesting things are that Murali has played 53 out of his 91 tests on home soil(over 58%), that even someone who is blind would know that they are raked over to

Shane Warne has the chance during this Ashes series to become the first bowler ever to have taken 100 test wickets in a country other than his home one. Currently he is sitting third, with 89 wickets in 17 Tests. The record-holder at the moment is Dennis Lillee, who took 96 wickets in 16 Tests in England, followed by Malcolm Marshall who took 94 wickets in 18 matches there.

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
