From the Publisher:
A warts and all biography of a legend in more ways than one.
Shane Warne is without doubt one of the top cricketers in the world today but Spun Out doesn't merely catalogue his averages or describe every ball he has bowled. Nor is it exclusively about sex and sensation. It is a riveting portrait of the man who is known as a walking paradox: a sportsman with a God-given talent; a magician who mesmerizes his opponents; and a kid who won't grow up with a personal life that teeters between tragedy and farce.
From his childhood in Melbourne to the days when he alone seemed to stand between England and a famous Ashes victory in 2005, Shane Warne's is an extraordinary story of cricketing genius, which is part fairytale, part pantomime, part sheer hypnotic talent, part glittering awards ceremony - all guts and glory.
