Shane Warne is one of the greatest cricketers of all time and was a better test bowler, but his exploits in ODIs can not be ignored either. He was very economical for a leg-spinner and bowled very few loose deliveries in his ODI career. His exceptional control over line and length made him a great bowler in ODIs too.

Warne also had the ability to rise to the occasion and excel in a big match. He took 4 wickets each in the semifinal and final of the 1999 World Cup and virtually won Australia the World Cup. He could not play in the 2003 World Cup following a ban imposed on him by ICC and retired from ODI cricket in 2005.
Warne relied a bit more on his flippers than usual in limited overs cricket. However, he bowled the conventional leg-break delivery as well and took 293 wickets from 194 matches. Warne finished with a career economy rate of 4.25, which is very good for a leg-spin bowler. He was a decent lower order batsman too and made 1018 runs in his ODI career.
