Shane Keith Warne, a man, a maverick, a genius. He transformed leg spin from just a form of bowling to an art, and by the time he ended his career, he had etched his legend all over the game.

With his bag of tricks and a sharp cricketing mind, Warne picked up 708 wickets in his career. If the ball was in Warne's hand the game was full of excitement. Like Glenn McGrath, he saved his best for England, and after having started off his Ashes career with that magical ball to Mike Gatting, he ended his career with another Ashes win in 2007 at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

His final wicket was Andrew Flintoff, and he did it with a ripping leg-break. The ball was tossed up on off stump, Flintoff tried to reach for it, but was beaten with the drift and turn and was stumped.

A fizzing leg-break to end a remarkable career.
