That's part of the art of learning to play the game, and he understood how to use those little mind games to try and get a small advantage." Warnie had the reputation of liking a party but he just celebrated in a way where he wanted to keep everyone together, and really enjoy that win. There was some stat when I first went to Victoria, they'd won something like four away games in three years, so it was a significant win in terms of winning away from home, and particularly in Perth." Katich: "I prided myself on picking leggies, having bowled them myself, and I remember seeing it – it was a wrong'un from around the wicket – but I just didn't execute the shot well; I tried to whack him, and hit it straight to cover. Inness: "I was at mid-on or mid-off when he was bowling, so I had a pretty good view, and I remember the way he started working the batsmen over. Sure, he had a point to prove as well, but Warnie always had a point to prove." It was great to watch from bat pad – you always felt like, even if the batter got a couple of way, it was only a matter of time before you'd get an opportunity." He was a man's man but he had that care, and it didn't really matter whether you were making runs or getting picked – if he liked you, he liked you, and he was interested in how you were getting on. Angel: "He was a brilliant bowler, good enough to execute every plan he put in place, and he knew how to play those little mind games that are just as much a part of the battle as bat and ball. He gave me a huge amount of advice when it came to bowling leg spin, particularly in Kandy, where he gave me a masterclass on the centre wicket. It was nice to be so clear in my processes of how to combat such a great bowler." He had a few different balls so you really had to watch his hand, and then you needed a different strategy when he'd come around the wicket; I'd bat on leg stump because he would target the rough.

How the late Australian cricket legend Shane Warne reshaped Hampshire and made them contenders again.

"He was so generous with his time and advice. "Shane Warne is someone who I attach very happy memories of my dad to because when I met Shane for the first time, it was when I had a really good relationship with my dad. "Warne looked after me incredibly well and took me under his wing on the Australia team and he is the reason I came to Hampshire," said former Australia and Hampshire all-rounder Shane Watson. "He said 'leave it to me' and I when I arrived home the next day I got a phone call from the club saying 'what did you say to Warne at the Palace?' "Then Warne arrives as our captain for two years and we earn promotion, finish runners-up in the Championship and won a Lord's final." After leading the team to promotion in 2004, they finished second in the County Championship in 2005 and third in 2006, when Warne claimed 58 wickets. "I'd never met Shane Warne but I found him at the reception and there was a moment where he wasn't deep in conversation," Ford said. "The team needed a lot doing to it but we didn't have much money - we were doing what we could with what we had." So in a last-ditch attempt to get Warne's signature and break the deadlock, he decided to corner the global star at a cricket reception - inside Buckingham Palace. "We couldn't talk to Shane himself who directed us back to his agents and we thought we were in danger of losing him," Ford added. In 1999 - with 30-year-old Warne having taken 300 Test wickets and more than 200 in one-day internationals - the club board made contact with his agents to thrash out a deal. When Warne arrived at the south coast club in 2000 it is safe to say it was not the top-flight sports team it is now.

Shane Warne's son has shared a powerful tribute to his father on this anniversary of his shocking death.

Shane Warne’s son has shared a powerful tribute to his father on this anniversary of his shocking death.

"It's bloody sad," Warne's former captain Mark Taylor told Wide World of Sports. "I didn't realise it had been a year, to be honest ...

"He had plenty of opinions, and I didn't always agree with all of them, but he had such a love for the game. He's shown he can land them, he can be consistent, and he can take wickets. "For so long we've heard, 'I'm not sure he's up to it' and things like that about Kuhnemann. "It was the same with every spinner. "That was Warnie. That's the case for Australia, with Murphy and Kuhnemann both handed debuts in India. Now he's got a Test five-for to his name. For years Australia has struggled to identify a successor to Nathan Lyon. I remember when Michael Beer came on the scene more than a decade ago. "He would love the fact that Australia has not just Nathan Lyon, but Murphy and Kuhnemann." "All of that would have delighted Shane, that the players still see Test cricket as the ultimate form of the game, as he did." "I think he'd be quite chuffed to see what's happening in the game at the moment, not just the spinners in India, but the way England are playing a better, more exciting brand of cricket.
