And as with so much of his career turbulent attention often focused on his exploits off-field, including a bitter row with Secretary Rajasthan Cricket Association Sanjay Dixit on a choice of one-stop, which led to a fine of $ 50,000 this week.

"It should be my last game as versus Sachin," Warne said at the Thursday NDTV news channel. "Sachin is the greatest player I've played against...". I hope that it does me autour of smash. ?
The two players appeared shock earlier in the season after the Indian batsman complained of the land of Rajasthan, but the tension was laughed off the coast by Warne, who insists on the fact that they were "partners".

After a triumph of title with a team of rag - tag in the first edition of the contest in 2008 ttwweennttyy of script, his final season as Captain offered some rewards, with the team not to make the playoffs.
Despite the dire end of an explosive career, he remembered as one of the greatest players of all time - and in the eyes of many second only to the legendary Don Bradman drummer in Australian cricket.
His first trial in 1992 he posted modest numbers 1-150 but he then fear down under his mentor Terry Jenner and 18 month more later caught the attention of the world of cricket with "the ball of the century" against England.
Delivery, Warne first ashes test, to dramatically bamboozle Mike Gatting England and announce the arrival of a cricket superstar.
Warne retired from international cricket in 2007 after the resurrection of the art of leg-spin and becoming the first player to take 700 Test wickets.
On the way, the "Warney" than a few puffs of cigarette, beer washing survived scandals of drugs and bookmaking and pursues a vigorous love life thought generally to have cost the Australian Captain armband.
"The way that Warney is bowling, it would continue to dominate world cricket," current Test Australian star Shane Watson, a Rajasthan Royals teammate Watson, said The Age in Melbourne Friday.
