List of international cricket five-wicket hauls by Shane Warne

Shane Warne has captured the second highest number of five-wicket hauls in Test cricket.

Shane Warne, a retired international Australian cricketer, took a number of five-wicket hauls during his career for Australia. In cricket, a five-wicket haul - also known as a five-for or fifer^[1]- refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement,^[2] and only five bowlers have taken more than 30 five-wicket hauls in their Test cricket careers.^[3] Warne has the second-most five-wicket hauls in Test cricket with 37, behind Sri Lankan Muttiah Muralitharan.^[3] Despite this he has only taken a single five-wicket haul in One Day Internationals (ODI).^[4] He is one of the most experienced Australian cricketers, and the second leading wicket taker in Test cricket history with 708 wickets, again behind Muralitharan.^[5] He is twelfth on the all-time list of ODI wicket takers.^[6] In 2000, Warne was named fourth of five Wisden Cricketers of the Century behind Sir Donald Bradman, Sir Garfield Sobers and Sir Jack Hobbs.^[7]

Warne made his Test debut against India at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) in January 1992,^[4] and took his first five-wicket haul later that year, against the West Indies at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.^[8] He has taken ten or more wickets in a match ten times in his career and is second in the all-time list behind Muralitharan with 22.^[9] Warne's career-best bowling figures in an innings is 8 wickets for 71 runs which he achieved in 1994 against England in Brisbane,^[10] while his best match figures are 12 wickets for 128 runs against South Africa in Sydney in 1994.^[11] Warne has been most successful against England, taking 11 five-wicket hauls against them, the first in 1993 and the last one in 2006,^[12] and was most prolific at the SCG where 5 of his 38 five-wicket hauls were taken.^[12] Warne retired from international cricket in January 2007 having taken 708 Test and 293 ODI wickets in his career.^[13] He announced his retirement from all forms of cricket in May 2011.^[14]
