On Warne: A Definitive account of the world of Cricket during Warne's times

Watching a cricket game is any day more interesting than reading on it, if you're of this opinion too then On Warne by Gideon Haigh is going to debunk that notion. Shane Warne is the famous cricketer of all time and will be always remembered in the history of cricket as a spinner who won thousands of wickets but what provoked him to be the best. Get to know the inside story of the making of this legendary cricketer in the book On Warne.

Gideon Haigh in his book has not given a biography of the world famous spinner, Shane Warne, but has in fact conjured up a fine artistic portrait of him with words. The book has interesting anecdotes, quotations, and observations of the writer on Shane Warne. During  Warne's retirement, Haigh wrote that, “It was said of Augustus that he found Rome brick and left it marble: the same is true of Warne and spin bowling All this makes it a pretty interesting read for not only a Shane Warne fan but also the lover of cricket.

Gideon Haigh is a world famous cricket writer too and that makes this book even more a fine read. Gideon Haigh was a witness to the Warne era. He too has witnessed the highs and lows, the fun and the follies during Shane Warne's reign in the world of cricket. The book consists of several of interviews conducted by Haigh with Warne over a period of 10 years. Haigh has assessed Warne as the greatest sportsmen, as a cricketer, the man himself as in his character, as a comrade, as a newsmaker and as a national figure for Australia.

This book presents a definitive account of what cricket as a game was like in the times of Warne. The online store like infibeam now houses this ultimate book on Shane Warne. Read it to believe that reading a book on cricket can also be as interesting as watching an interesting cricket game.
