Description
In On Warne, renowned author Gideon Haigh delves into the life and legacy of one of cricket's greatest icons, Shane Warne. This biography is not merely a recounting of statistics and match highlights; it is a profound exploration of Warne’s complex character and the indelible mark he left on the sport.

The narrative navigates through pivotal moments in Warne’s life, including his extraordinary cricketing career, his struggles with fame, and his impact on the game.
