Now, the bestselling author of Warne Gideon Haigh is out with a new book on the greatest sporting contest of them all. On Warne is the definitive account.He has been called 'the finest cricket writer alive' (The Australian), 'Australia's finest writer on cricket' (The Times) and 'the world's greatest living cricket writer' (The Guardian). One day, you might be asked what cricket in the time of Warne was like. The result is one of the finest cricket books ever written, a whole new way of looking at its subject, at sport, and at Australia. Drawing on interviews conducted with Warne over the course of a decade, and two decades of watching him play, Haigh assesses this greatest of sportsmen as cricketer, character, comrade, newsmaker and national figure – a natural in an increasingly regimented time, a simplifier in a growingly complicated world. In On Warne, he relives the era's highs, its lows, its fun and its follies. Now that the Australian cricketer who dominated airwaves and headlines for twenty years has turned full-time celebrity and media event, his sporting conquests and controversies are receding steadily into the past.īut what was it like to watch Warne at his long peak, the man of a thousand international wickets, the incarnation of Australian audacity and cheek? Our leading cricket writer, Gideon Haigh, lived and loved the Warne era, when the impossible was everyday, and the sensational every other day. The resulting masterpiece is as much about our fascination with Warnie as it is about the player himself. Gideon Haigh on Shane Warne is an irresistible pairing: 'the finest cricket writer alive' ( The Australian) on the greatest cricketer of our times.
