Shane Warne

That was only one point against Murali that you have partially proved wrong. What about all the other arguments against Murali. I will not mention them again because us Shane Warne supporters have mentioned again and again. Read the thread.

Yea, I completely agree with you.

You people are just like me...when I first joined this forum, I also thought that Murali was way better than Warne because of his better stats, but then when I found out why he has better stats than Shane, then I realized that Shane is a living legend and Murali is not in Shane's class.

You must be kidding!

Shane Warne and rubbish don't go together. Shane Warne is the best slow bowler ever. He is the Bradman of bowling. He is an out-standing player. He was one of Wisden's 5 cricketers of the 20th century, and he was the only currently playing player that got player of the century. All the rest were retired players. Shane is extraordinary.

yea, I agree. Without Warne Australia would have been demolished in the ashes and they wouldn't be the number 1 team in the world right now.

warne is cetrainly a great bowler and in my opinion better than murali, for reasons i've mentioned in previous threads. warne posesses one of the most genius cricketing brains, despite the fact that outside of cricket he doesn't seem the sharpest tool in the shed, his knowledge of the game is amazing. it's no wonder ponting turned to warne so often when struggling for solutions during the ashes

well, i don't know any unknown facts about him but he has accomplished something that no one has!! and everyone knows about it. he is the first bowler to take 600 test wickets and i believe that he is such a great bowler and he's taking wickets so fast that he will get 700 test wickets by the end of his career.

well, McGrath is second right and he was first for quite a while now, but shane finally took over...after 10 years.

oh are you talking about the match when england almost collapsed chasing 127 to win? i certainly have to agree with you, shane almost pulled that one off for australia.

murali and shane are not even close to the same except the fact that they are very evenly matched.

murali has problems inside the cricket world with his bowling action, while shane has problems outside the cricket world like all the scandals and family problems.

if you look at McGrath and Shane, i believe McGrath is better, he's the guy who destroy's the top order and leaves the tail for shane. which means that he can get the better batsman out and shane is only left the tail to deal with.

that is 100% true and muralia only has less wickets because he has played less tests.

but the thing is that murali's career has been filled with so much controversy over his bowling action. probably no one in the history of international cricket has had as much controversy in their cricket career as much as murali.

shane warne has been involved in a lot of scandals and things but the ICC didn't actually have a problem with the way he played the game. his bowling action is fine and everything, its just his outside life which has affected his cricket life.

My opinion is that warne is the best spin bowler out there at the moment. Its hard to say best ever because its very hard to compare one generation too the next.

On the subject of who is better murali and warne on the subject of statistics you Wanre would have to come out on top. Warne has bowled along people side people like glen mcgrath, jason gillespie and more recently bret lee who have all taken there fare share of wickets while murali is the only real bowler in his side and is given the bowl for entire days. Warne has played in numerous tests where he hasnt got a chance or has been left with only a couple of wickets because the quicks have demolished the side.

Don't forget about Stuart McGill. If he had half the games warne had played he would have just as many wickets as warne.

A champ leg spiner is  named as shane warne he had picked 628 wickets he is truly the best bowler in the world

 

shane warne is what makes the aussies so great,  of course he is the best bowler in the world, he has the world record! from loz

Originally posted by Superbokkie For that reason, as a SAFA, I am sincerely hoping that Shane is injured/performing below his best in the SA-Australia series this summer.

Get off yer knees Bokkie!!

But seriously , South Africa's young guns NEED to play Warnie. He hasn't much cricket left , maybe 2/3 years , so any player worth his salt will want to test himself against the best.

I'm looking forward to Gibbs , Kallis , Smith and young AB taking the topman on - it'll be rivetting!!
