Publisher's Summary

Everyone knows the story, or thinks they do. The leg-spinner who rewrote the record books. One of Wisden’s five cricketers of the twentieth century. A sporting idol across the globe. A magnet for the tabloids. But the millions of words written and spoken about Shane Warne since his explosive arrival on the Test cricket scene in 1992 have only scratched the surface. The real story has remained untold.

In No Spin, Shane sets the record straight. From his extraordinary family history to his childhood as a budding Aussie Rules footballer in suburban Melbourne. From the legendary ‘Gatting ball’ to his history-making 700th Test wicket. From the controversy surrounding the diuretic pill in South Africa to his high-profile relationship with Hollywood star Elizabeth Hurley. Nothing is off limits, and Shane tackles it all with his trademark directness and humour.

These days an incisive, charismatic TV commentator and analyst, the ‘Sultan of Spin’ also lets us in on the mysterious art of leg-spin bowling, revealing the secrets of some of his deadliest deliveries. As Shane says, ‘Few batsmen, if any, truly know what I do.’

A sporting great, a celebrity, a family man and a self-confessed regular Aussie bloke from the suburbs, in No Spin Shane offers a compelling insight into how a boy from Black Rock changed the face of cricket forever.

WAAARRNNIEEE! 🙌

Loved binging this book. Warnie is a national treasure who changed the game of test cricket for the better. And saved the art of wrist spin from certain death. No holds barred he is refreshingly honest about the good and not so good regarding his life. The only thing that would make this book better is if Shane was the narrator

Interesting read

Ot was great to hear Warne's side of the story and not just what the media puts out. This was a great read.

Fantastic book

Loved it. Brilliantly written and read. The author really captures Warney and quite often the narration is so good you think Shane Warne is speaking to you.

More research needed.

I really wished Rhys and the producers of this reading had done their research on the pronunciation of some phrases. As a bayside local hearing Rhys mangle "Cerberus" and "Balcombe", let alone "plantar fasciitis", which should be a well known condition really bumps you out of the enjoyment for this rollicking life story.

A ripping yarn

But what else would you expect from Warnie. In my life I’ve been blessed to witness Phelps, Jordan, Gretzky, Woods ++ + and . . . Warnie. A true and legendary Australian character, and story. Thanks and RIP Warnie.
