Shane Warne became the first bowler in Test history to take 700 wickets when he reached the landmark on Boxing Day in 2006, admitting afterwards: “Whoever writes my scripts is doing an unbelievable job.”
Warne went into the fourth Test of the 2006/07 Ashes at his beloved Melbourne Cricket Ground on 699 wickets, while the leg-spinner revealed in the build-up that he would be retiring from international cricket at the end of the series.
