He holds the record for the third-highest five-wicket haul in international cricket. He has 37 Test fifers, one ODI fifer, and ten Test ten-wicket hauls.
Warne was selling himself short when he compared his life to a soap opera. His story was a fable, pantomime, medical drama, adult-only fun, and glamorous awards ceremony.
He scored a hat-trick in Tests, was named Man-of-the-Match in a World Cup final, and was the subject of seven books. He was the first cricketer in history to take 700 Test wickets.
