Australia profiles: Shane Warne
Mark Butcher
By Mark Butcher
Former England batsman

FACTFILE
S Warne
Right-handed batsman; right-arm leg-break bowler
Born: 13/9/69
Test debut: v India, Sydney 1992
ODI debut: v New Zealand, Wellington 1993

He's still the ace in the hole as far as the Australian bowling line-up is concerned. He is just fabulously consistent and a very clever bowler.

He seems to lose a bit of his side-spin or doesn't seem to have as much bounce or whatever, but he still manages to con batsmen out.

He knows how to get batsmen out. He knows what they least want to happen next. He may not have the same raw materials as in the past, but thrives on his canniness.
