Australia Test Shirt of Shane Warne (b. 1969), 1995 International Sports Clothing Shirt worn by former Australian international cricketer, Shane Warne during his path to 300 Test wickets. The 1994-1995 season was a crucial period in which Australia sought to retain The Ashes when England toured for a five-Test series. Warne took a career-best 8 for 71 in the second innings of the first Test at the Gabba, while in the Second Test, a Boxing Day Test at Warne's home ground, the Melbourne Cricket Ground, he took his first and only Test hat-trick. He also grabbed his 150th Test wicket, a caught-and-bowled off Alec Stewart. In the Third Test at Sydney Cricket Ground, he and fellow tail-ender Tim May survived the final 19 overs on the fifth day in fading light to secure a draw and a 2–0 series lead that meant Australia would retain The Ashes. Later in 1995, he toured the West Indies, taking 15 wickets over four Tests as Australia defeated the West Indies in a Test series for the first time in almost 20 years.
