    Always had a soft spot for Daniel Vettori, a NZ captain in waiting, but Warney, obviously.

    Yeah always liked Vettori myself, great use of drift and flight.

    I have a feeling Shane will run away with this one!

    I think I might start a new stickie for all you guys pimping your clubs!:D

    Might be handy to get the various clubs and times training starts again in one place

    Aye Warne has it. Macgill is a better spinner imo but Warney is by far the better bowler.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,139 ✭✭✭kyp_durron


    I should have had a 'who is the second best spin bowler' poll instead!

    Macgill sure can make it turn, should get in the australian test squad more, but he nowhere as consistent as warne.

    Assuming a bowler is somebody that delivers a legitimate delivery, Warney ;)

    What about Jenny Hargreaves from Lincolnshire?:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,018 ✭✭✭legspin


    Alastair Campbell?
    Condi Rice?:p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,870 ✭✭✭mikeruurds


    Not too much of a contest here. Warne obviously. Damn, I wish he was a South African!!

    Only problem is he'd probably be playing for England if that was the case.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,233 ✭✭✭Dont Ban Me


    Muralitharan is good but Warney is miles ahead of any competition. But I still love to see Muralitharan bowl with that interesting way he does it with that inside arm flick! (cant really explain how he does it!!)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 621 ✭✭✭dohboy


    Do people not rate Murali because of his dodgy action? I haven't seen that much of him but he takes a shed load of wickets.

    Not disagreeing with the selection of Warne though.

    Hate to say it but warne, dammit i hate that man so much....
