List of international cricket five-wicket hauls by Shane Warne explained

Shane Warne, a late Australian international cricketer, had taken 37 five-wicket hauls during his career playing for the Australia national cricket team. 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 eleven 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, behind Sri Lanka's Muttiah Muralitharan.^[3] Despite this, he has only taken a single five-wicket haul in One Day Internationals (ODI).^[4] He was 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 the fourth of five Wisden Cricketers of the Century, behind Don Bradman, Garfield Sobers and Jack Hobbs.^[7]

Warne made his Test debut against the Indian team at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) in January 1992,^[4] and took his first five-wicket haul later that year, against the West Indies team at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.^[8] He has taken ten or more wickets in a match 10 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 accomplished in 1994 against the English team at the Brisbane Cricket Ground,^[10] while his best match figures are 12 wickets for 128 runs, achieved in 1994 against the South Africa team in Sydney.^[11] Warne has been most successful against England, taking 11 five-wicket hauls against them, the first in 1993 and the last 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]
