Shane Warne in conversation with Mike Atherton | No Spin: My Autobiography

My story, without the spin. Out now: amzn.to/2Eew3K1
'It is one of the most honest books you will read by any sportsman and I can commend it to everybody' - Piers Morgan
From the start of his glittering career in 1992, to his official retirement from all formats of the game in 2013, Shane Warne has long desired to tell his incredible story without compromise. No Spin is that very story. It will offer a compelling intimate voice, true insight and a pitch-side seat to one of cricket’s finest eras, making this one of the ultimate must-have sports autobiographies.
Shane is not only one of the greatest living cricket legends: he is as close as the game has had since Botham to a maverick genius on the field and a true rebel spirit off it, who always gives audiences what they want. Despite being the talismanic thorn in England’s side for nearly two decades of regular Ashes defeats, he was also much loved in the UK where he played cricket for Hampshire. He’s also a much-admired figure in India and South Africa.
Alongside his mesmerising genius as a bowler, Shane has often been a controversial figure, and in this book he's talk with brutal honesty about some of the most challenging times in his life as a player. Honest, thoughtful, fearless and loved by millions, Shane is always his own man and this book is a testament to his brilliant career.

[@AuctionDirectFlowers]

Spent years literally crying as England lost ashes after ashes cursing Shane warne. Leaving the oval a few years ago after he retired I spotted him crossing the road leaving the oval after a day’s play, my son had started playing and enjoyed watching clips on KZbin. After asking for an autograph hastily as he said of course he asked if I had a pen.. not only didn’t I haven’t a pen I didn’t have anything to sign.. he said come to my car and in really good humour signed the days scorecard. Just a very very nice guy.. my son was thrilled.

You know it’s real when Warnie said he thought the next ball could always be something special/magical or change the game. Watching him as an Aussie born in 1991, I was so lucky because he kept me glued to the screen thinking every ball was worth watching.

[@aash183]

What a player, what a bowler! Still one of the greatest cricketing minds to have played the game. Genius.

[@roadie3124]

I more-or-less stopped watching cricket after Warnie retired. After him, everything else was a bit boring. I hadn't realised that he was a deep thinker. A lot of wisdom in what he said.

[@roadie3124]

@Mick Williams I agree with you, Mick. Particularly about emphasis on entertaining the crowd. I think that the increasing the audience size and catering to the mob, who are not there to watch cricket but to be entertained by instant dramatics, was all about making more money. One of the joys of watching Warnie was to see how he worked a batsman for an over or two, looking for a weakness and exploiting the weakness to get the batsman into a position where the wicket was inevitable.

[@jackgreen2579]

My leg spin coach Scott Moody shared the same locker room with Shane in the Australian academy and got a mention on page 47. Scott also got trained by TJ but unfortunately Scott got a serious illness and didn’t make it pro. He’s now a full time coach in the uk and is best leg spin coach. No money can buy warne and Jenner’s acknowledge but he’s under the radar massively.

[@JSL2000]

I read the book last week. Warne speaks very highly about a lot of people he shared various parts of his journey with right back to the earlier days. It’s horrible to read how illness, injury, or personal circumstances prevent some young people from achieving their ambitions. But great to read that his former young teammate is now a coach at a very good level.

[@rubiksharma5387]

I will always remember the grunt while delivering the ball by warni. He looked like taking wicket on every delivery. He never grumbled about the role pitch. Andrew Straws's dismissal in 2005 ashes siries with the new ball is mesmerising. Googli, Flipper, traditional leg-spin along with the tremendous control bamboozled the bests. His ability to bowl at will makes him the best leg-spinner, the cricket world ever produced. Live long dear Shane

What a great interview. Shane Warne is thoughtful, funny and very honest about the rollercoaster of fame and his rich experience of being a world class cricketer. Atherton is a classy and witty interviewer but should not have been so judgmental in referring to his Shane Warne's parenthood as "A work in progress" - you just don't do that! Let the man tell his own story. He also has an annoying habit of interrupting Warne mid way through some of his answers. Those issues aside, it's a cut above most other sporting interviews. Warne is equally engaging and insightful as a commentator; be sure to catch him in commentary on Sky on the current Australia tour of England .
