In 1995, Warne reached 200 Test wickets in only his 42nd Test, building a solid foundation to what may be a long and impressive career. Described by Richie Benaud as ``the best leg-spinner I`ve ever seen``, Warne has revitalised interest in what was a dying art. His bleached blond hair and outgoing personality on the field have earned him the nickname of ``Hollywood``, and he is worshipped by Australian fans wherever he plays, being perhaps the most popular member of the current Australian side.help@cricinfo.com |
