23 jersey number in cricket

A cricket player’s jersey number is their form of identification in the game. You may even call it a tag. Every player has an inscription of this significant number alongside their surname at the back of their jersey. It is easier to remember the jersey number of a cricketer than their actual name.

Shane Warne

Shane Keith Warne was an Australian international cricketer who played from 1991 to 2007 as a right-arm leg spin bowler and a right-handed batsman for Victoria, Hampshire and Australia. He is widely acknowledged to have been one of the sport’s greatest-ever bowlers. He made 145 Test appearances, taking 708 wickets.

Warne’s 708 Test wickets was the record for the most wickets taken by any bowler in Test cricket until 2007. A useful lower-order batsman, Warne scored more than 3,000 Test runs, with a highest score of 99. As well as playing internationally, Warne played domestic cricket in Australia and for Hampshire in England. Warne retired from international cricket at the end of Australia’s 2006–07 Ashes series victory over England.

He played in the first four seasons of the Indian Premier League for the Rajasthan Royals, where he was a player-coach who also captained the team. During his career he was involved in scandals off the field, including a ban from cricket for testing positive for a prohibited substance, charges of bringing the game into disrepute and sexual indiscretions.

Warne revolutionized cricket thinking with his mastery of leg spin, which had come to be regarded as a dying art. After retirement, he regularly worked as a cricket commentator. He also worked for charitable organizations and endorsed commercial products. In recognition of his skill, a statue of him bowling was placed outside the Melbourne Cricket Ground. He was also honored at a state memorial service at the ground.

Warne combined the ability to turn the ball prodigiously, even on unhelpful pitches, with regular accuracy and a variation of deliveries (notable among these being the flipper). In the latter stages of his career, variation was less evident despite regular press conferences announcing a “new” delivery for each series he participated in. When Warne retired, the Australian journalist Gideon Haigh wrote: “It was said of Augustus that he found Rome brick and left it marble: the same is true of Warne and spin bowling”. Warne did this by having a relaxed “two finger up, two down grip” with the ball not hitting the top part of the palm.

Warne was a fierce and dramatic competitor. Gideon Haigh wrote about what he called the pageantry and measured theatricality of Warne, such as his exaggerated appeals, intimidation of batters, sledging, flirting with umpires and time wasting, all of which added to his competitiveness. Warne was quoted as saying that “part of the art of bowling spin is to make the batsman think that something special is happening even when it isn’t”.

Warne was an effective lower-order batter, once famously dismissed for 99 with a reckless shot on what, it was later shown, was a no-ball. Warne has scored one of the most Test runs without having scored a century, with two scores in the nineties being his best efforts (99 and 91). He is also in the top overall in the most international Test ducks. Of players who have batted in more than 175 Test innings, his proportion of dismissals by being bowled out is one of the lowest, at under seven percent.

Warne was a successful slip fielder, with his 125 catches putting him in the list of most catches as a fielder in Test cricket history.
