Shane Warne has announced his retirement from cricket today as the highest Test wicket taker of all time. Whilst he will be remembered for "The Ball of the Century", he'll also be remembered for:
Weather forecasts and bribery in India
Joe the Camerman
Lewd text messages
Being caught smoking whilst being the spokesman for Nicorette
Smashing a kid's camera in NZ
and those photos in a London hotel room
The paper today called him a colourful identity. The term "colourful" is usually reserved for mobsters and lords of the underworld of organised crime.
Nevertheless, Warney leaves as the hero of many a Test Tour, ripping through batting orders like a chainsaw through a box of kumquats. Full of bite and the once "Sheik of Tweak"
