Yes, IMO he should have been the captain after Waugh. Would have been a great captain.Quote:

On numerous occasions he bowled from my end and I have always found him testing my decision-making. Like every umpire, I had to concentrate extremely hard when he was bowling because he had so much variety and variation that every ball he bowled was potentially a wicket-taking delivery."
It is a lesson to all young spinners. To keep the batsman guessing on when the variation will arrive.Quote:

He would lure them to play for the leg spin, but the ball would be a straighter one and he would get an lbw :notworthy:.
More than his exploits against Eng / SA who are traditional suspects against spin, his bowling which enabled Aus to win in SL (IIRC 1993-94 season) is a greater achievement.
I always will remember him as a bowler who was taken apart by Sachin.. this piece
When he was making a comeback in 2004, he was selected as a second spinner behind MacGill for the SL test series. So Warne was battling MacGill from his own side and comparison with Murali on other side.Quote:

ennadaa 2 naal aachu, innum varalaiye-nu paathen :D. No doubt Sachin has come out on top on most of their contests. But there is more to Warne than just his contest against Sachin, tabloid headlines and scandals. Just attempting to throw some light on his magic, self-confidence and genius.Quote:
