We celebrate the 100th episode of the 81allout podcast with an illuminating conversation with Gideon Haigh - the gold standard when it comes to cricket writing.
We could have spoken to Gideon about anything – cricket or otherwise - but we chose to focus on his brilliant book On Warne - a remarkably original take on a remarkably original cricketer. Gideon talks about Warne's ability to "make the unscripted look scripted" and why he was such a joy to write about.

Talking Points:
- Writing a book in 31 days
- Warne coming along at the 'perfect time'
- Would a cricketer like Warne have succeeded in the 1970s?
- The SSC Test in 1993 - when Warne found himself in international cricket
- The ball of the century - and the perfection of timing
- The theatre of Warne - and the art of manipulating everyone around him
- Warne and the media - a never-ending saga
- The post-retirement phase in Warne's life
- How the Warne legend is likely to endure
