The first cricketer to take 700 test wickets, Warne was named as one of only five Wisden cricketers of the century in 2000.Crow said Warne revived legspin, combining accuracy with variety and enormous turn ... it was the timing of his performances, in addition to his sheer weight of wickets, that further underlined his legendary status.
