  Shane Warne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shane Keith Warne (born September 13, 1969 in Ferntree Gully, Victoria, Australia), is an Australian cricketer, and captain of Hampshire.
Warne is also noted for his exuberant (and sometimes effective) lower-order batting, once famously being dismissed for 99 with a reckless shot when a Test century beckoned, on what was later shown to be a no ball.
Warne claimed ignorance of the banned nature of the tablet he took, as well as much of the drug policy of the Australian Cricket Board (despite extensive briefings on the matter in the past).

Shane Warne kept the 200,000 dollars (128,000 US) payed by a sponsor for staying off the cigarettes despite being caught smoking three days before the bet was due to end.
Warne claimed the cigarette on April 25 was ''a mere blip'' in an otherwise smoke-free four-month deal with Nicorette chewing gum manufacturer Upjohn and Pharmacia to pack it in.
Warne, 30, had held the leadership role since early last year but despite being one of the greatest players of all time, his off-field antics proved too much for the ACB.

And as Hayden happily caught the edge from Irfan Pathan’s bat at first slip, Warne’s joy knew no bounds as he conquered the home team and went on to take that elusive wicket that puts him on top of everyone else on the bowlers all time wicket takers lists.
That was something to really forget for Warne, with almost all Indian batsmen going after him and he finished with figures of 1 for 150, perhaps the worst start he would have never dreamt of.
The next time he came back there in 2001, already with a tarnished and humble record, nothing much clicked for him, as Laxman and Dravid played him with as much ease as eating a banana.This time around, this may very well be his last series in India; he is here with a mission.
