That Shane Warne is one of the best spin bowlers the game of cricket has ever seen is a given. The Australian legend, who turns 47 today, is still associated with the sport as a commentator and pundit nearly a decade after his international retirement. But however sharp Warney is in his observations and remarks in the commentary box, it was a different treat altogether watching him bamboozle batsmen all around the world with his right wrist and fingers.
Warne is the second-highest wicket-taker in Test matches ever, with 708 victims. Only Sri Lanka's Muttiah Muralitharan has more wickets (800). How did Warne get so many wickets? How did he manage to spin the ball so much? How did he bowl the ball of the century? In this video, the "King of Spin", as it labels him, tries to explain it himself and takes you through the "various elements of leg spin and all the variations" that come with it. Warne shows you how to bowl the standard leg-break, the top-spinner, the wrong'un, the flipper and the slider.
