Shane Keith Warne(Warnie), born 13 September 1969 in Upper Ferntree Gully, Victoria, Australia.
The 37 year old, presently with 707(as on 03-01-2007) victims is the highest wicket taker in test cricket. He is the first person to take 700 wickets in test cricket.With a combined tally of 1000 wickets in both form of cricket, he is certainly an incredible ambassdor of the game.
