'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.

Hard to believe Shane has gone, he really was larger than life but grounded at the same time.

The greatest of all time shocked and devastated of his passing 😭

As a Kiwi I admired Warnie for who he was and not the pain he brought us on the pitch. Rest in Power Mate

RIP Shane. Had to watch this so I could see and hear you and have a good laugh. Better than being depressed. Thanks mate

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 YouTube. 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.

This is the only way for us to remember his magic on and off the field. Hard to believe King Warne is no longer walking.
-
Devastating that Shane Warne has left us. An absolute legend Rest in peace

This is a must watch. The swagger of Warne and the Wittiness of Atherton. Two of the best conversationsists in cricket currently.

I never knew I loved this man so much..... Miss you warnie.... these videos would be a healer.....

Mesmerising bloke. Had it all. Tough mentality. Wisdom. Funny as hell.
-
Shane got me into cricket when I young...and I am English and he and Australia where kicking us all over the place, all the time. Will be missed by every cricket fan around the world.

Simply a special human being who had genius for leg spin bowling. Could listen to him all day and thanks to uploads like this, we still can. R.I.P. legend...
-
As an Englishman I can tell you he was loved on these shores. He transcended the sport and was great in the commentary box. He is massively missed here during the summer.
-
I could listen to him all day, great player great bloke. RIP Shaun and thank you
-
I don't know how I ended up watching this, yes I remember Shane warne was an Australian bowler from when I was a kid, that's all I know. I have no emotional investment whatsoever with cricket but honestly this interview was fantastic, he's so right about a lot of things, especially the parts about sport today not having personality, you can tell how much it meant to him, a real winner and an inspiration..RIP.🙏
-
Love ya Warnie. The quintessential Aussie. You will be so missed!!!!!
-
Even though he always crushed Englands hopes and dreams we all loved Warne. Amazing cricketer and respected by all England fans for his skill and spirit.
-
I’ve had to watch some of your interviews again just to remind myself just how much I admired you as a cricketer and all round good bloke, I still can’t believe that you have gone, the world has lost a shining light the sky has gained a star that burns bright. RIP Warnie the sports and cricket world has lost an all time great. 😔😪🙏🏽👟💫🏏🍻🏏 🇦🇺
