Warne took 708 wickets in 145 Test matches and 293 wickets in 194 ODIs for Australia.

During this period, he took a total of 70 wickets at an average of 26.61. Apart from making the ball dance to his tunes, he was known for playing mind games on the field. Warne used to know in advance which shot the batsman was going to play. He used this specialty of his in a match during the Big Bash League in 2011, when he went one step ahead of the batsman on strike. So this batsman was none other than former New Zealand cricket team captain and explosive batsman Brendon McCullum. Let us tell you that a match was being played between Brisbane Heat and Melbourne Stars on Brisbane ground that season.

During the match, a commentator asked Shane Warne, “What about McCullum, Shane?” McCullum replied to the commentator, “Maybe after the first shot he will play a sweep shot or play with force from inside-out. So here I want to try and bowl him a fast ball that slides.” McCullum then plays a sweep shot against Warne; since Warne knew he was going to do so, he bowls a fast delivery which lands straight between leg and middle stump and hits the off stump. See how Shane Warne got Brendon McCullum out On the other hand, if we tell you the situation of this match, then Brendon McCullum’s team had to face defeat. While chasing the target of 178 runs given by Melbourne Stars, Brisbane Heat could only score 169/7.
