Warne’s 4-64 in the second innings powered Australia to an innings and 126-run victory over their opponents.

7/52 vs West Indies, 2nd Test, Melbourne, December 26-30, 1992

After ending the first innings with just a single wicket (1-61), Warne ripped through West Indies’ batting line-up in the fourth innings. Defending 359, Warne returned with figures of 23.2-8-52-7, powering Australia to a 139-run win.

4-29 vs South Africa, 2nd Semi Final, ICC World Cup, Birmingham, June 17, 1999

Defending 213 for a spot in the final, Warne’s spell turned the game on its head as South Africa went from 48/0 to 61/4, picking the all important first three wickets of Herschelle Gibbs, Gary Kirsten, and Hansie Cronje, including a double blow of the latter two in the 14th over. The leggie further picked up the wicket of the dangerous looking Jacques Kallis (53) in the 45th over.

4-33 vs Pakistan, Final, ICC World Cup, Lord’s, 1999

Player of the Match in the Semi Final. Player of the Match in the final. Shane Warne was in the form of his life at the most crucial of times for Australia. Pakistan batted first and Warne made them dance to his tunes dismissing Ijaz Ahmed, Moin Khan, Shahid Afridi and Wasim Akram in a spell that broke through the batting order. Pakistan were bowled out for 132, a target not too difficult for Australia.
