10 best players of all time from Hampshire

Shane Warne in action for Hampshire

There are very few counties in English cricket who can boast of such an array of superb overseas talents to have graced its team and Australian great Shane Warne was another global star who turned out for them for a long time.

Warne, who is arguably the best spin bowler to have ever played international cricket, turned out for Hampshire between 2000 and 2007 and soon became one of the best performers for the county.

Due to his international commitments, Warne could only play in a handful of games each season in first-class cricket but when he did, he proved to be a handful. In 66 games, he picked up 276 wickets at an average of 25.58 and remained the best spin bowler in the county circuit during those seven years.
