Fitting of the magician

Legendary Australian leg-spinner Shane Warne has been bamboozling England's batsmen ever since bowling the 'ball of the century' to dismiss Mike Gatting at Old Trafford on the 1993 tour.
And he was at it again on Thursday when he became the first man in the history of the game to take 600 Test wickets when he dismissed Marcus Trescothick in the third Ashes Test at the same venue.
Now on his fourth and last tour of England, the 35-year-old is the 'Sheikh of Tweak'.
So revered is he in England that his is only the third portrait of an Australian cricketer to hang in the
venerable Long Room at Lord's along with late greats Donald Bradman and Keith Miller.
Wisden Cricketers' Almanack acclaimed Warne among their five cricketers of the 20th Century.
But Warne arrived for the Ashes series in the midst of traumatic marriage break-up blamed on several highly-publicised affairs with women which reportedly occurred since he moved to England to play for Hampshire three months ago.
His wife, Simone, and three children have since returned to Melbourne.
The fall-out has been damaging.
Kerry Packer's Channel Nine ripped up his lucrative 11-year contract with the broadcaster because of his off-field indiscretions while one columnist demanded that he "should never again be allowed
to debase the Australian colours by wearing them."
"It's obviously been a tough time for me, I don't think that's any secret," Warne said in the lead-up to the series.
"One of my strengths as a cricketer over the years has been the ability to overcome any obstacles. Whatever's been put in front of me, I think I've always responded pretty well."
Off-field controversies have been constant bedfellows for the talismanic bowler, dubbed 'Hollywood' for a succession of headlines for all the wrong reasons.
In 1995, Warne was fined along with teammate Mark Waugh for his alleged involvement with a bookmaker.
While playing for Hampshire in 2000, a British tabloid told of how Warne had left "dirty messages" on the answerphone of a nurse he had met in a Leicester nightclub.
South African woman Helen Cohen Alon also claimed in August 2003 that she was offered 28,000 US dollars by an associate of Warne to keep quiet about their relationship in a series of threatening phone calls and text messages.

Warne hit rock-bottom after being given a 12-month suspension for taking a banned diuretic just before the 2003 World Cup.
He returned in March 2004 and has not looked back although he admits his physical approach to his recordbreaking effortsis unorthodox.
"My diet is still pizzas, chips, toasted cheese sandwiches and milkshakes," he told a magazine last month.
"I have the occasional six week burst where I stick to fruit and cereal.
"It bloody kills me but I guess you have to do it."
Warne admits he has made many mistakes but never looks back.
"I've made some poor choices when I've had too many," he says. "The problem is there's still a big kid inside me who likes to have fun. Maybe I need to grow up ... and maybe I don't.
"I may have done a few things differently. But when you are thrust into the limelight at 22, like I was, it can be hard to deal with it in a mature, sensible way.
"You can't describe what that ball to Gatting did. It changed my life forever, on and off the pitch. I started being judged on every move I made."
When Warne smashed Sri Lankan Muttiah Muralitharan's world wicket-taking record in India last October, Cricket Australia said in a tribute: "Shane's ability to dismiss all types of batsmen in a variety of conditions makes him one of the greatest bowlers in cricket's history.
"In addition to his feats on the ground, Shane has played a pivotal role in revolutionising the art of legspin bowling, which has inspired a new generation of children to the craft."
