@M football is some men kicking a pigs bladder round a field. Its popularity with the masses is a mystery. It gives them an outlet for their violent frustrations and natural thuggery I guess
He's the legend I learnt cricket from....frankly, watching Shane bowling in test matches esp in Aus (great crowd - commentary, knowledgeable n colorful) with morn coffee (in India) was magical...I miss those days...A great ambassador and Advertisement for Test cricket
An Englishman's nightmare love him or hate him and I've done both one thing I always had was the utmost respect for warney leg spin is the hardest form of bowling and like the greats of any sport he made it look easy a true legend and he's up there with my favourite players of all time Viv Richards sashan tendulkar Brian Lara Ian Botham and the legend that is Freddy
@deathtrip2000 HAHAHAHAHAHA. I thought Parkison said it best when he said SW was "special" (@0:40) but i am afraid you just topped it!! ROFLMFAO! Well said buddy!!!! thats perfect
Shane is the Man! To me, hes a better cricketer than Akram, Waugh, Tendulkar even Lara. A master of his art, a canny captain, the best batsman @ no.8/9, a huge entertainer & a total lady-charmer (to put it mildly ;)). What a bloke!
Majority of Indians were not against Murali, in fact they have supported him a lot, of course there may be some exceptions, don't jump into conclusion that every Indian on the earth is same
Also for the record I think Warne is an excellent bowler, and rate him as the 2nd best spinner of all time, I wouldn't mind being regarded as the 2nd best spin bowler to play the game!. If you want to know why I'm saying this on this video read my first comment, in regards to Parkinson's introduction.....case closed
He's the best spin bowler of all time without question. He wouldn't be in the top 5 cricketers of all time if he wasn't the best spin bowler of all time.. it's not only based on breaking records. Because if it was, the bill Russell would be the greatest basketball player of all time. But we all know that Michael Jordan was the greatest
@mroeyjay - You think your "claim" is valid so is my statement below. So, keep claiming who chucks the bowl while seeing those guys taking wickets against Australia :)
lol give it a rest with the Murali is a chucker routine! He movement is from his shoulder and wrist, not the elbow. Have a look at the video where he bowls in a brace, with the same results! lol. Murali is a class above Warne.....case closed.
@mroeyjay - OK. Let me explain to you. You said he is a chucker even after ICC gave him a clean chit. Then you said that I am blind. And now you said that I am a little boy. Guess what, I stay corrected that you certainly are making claims based on your assumptions. Think about it and if you apply a little bit of your mind you would figure that out. LOL
Every Australian knows Murali doesn't chuck, they just use it as an argument for Warne's benefit. It's been proven, yes his arm is bent when he delivers the ball, it's not his fault, the arm cannot straighten, all the work is done with his wrist and shoulder. Wtf do you mean 'your shirlankin batsmen' in what way are they mine???
Warne bowled with competition of McGrath, Gillespie, Lee. Murali was the only star in his tenure regarding the bowling department . Warne played Eng/RSA the most on non spinner pitches. Murali played Zim/Bangla the most on dust bowls. Sachin rates Warne over Murali due to the fact he felt Warne was always a threat even at 0/100.
lol just look at the numbers you ignorant Aussie Warne: 142 tests, 708 Wickets @ 25.41 Murali: 130 tests, 792 Wickets @ 22.71 You will never be able to convince me that Murali isn't the best spin bowler of all time!.....case closed
Im Australian (& obvious huge australia fan)- but SHane Warne, though a terrific, brilliant, gifted cricketer & artist of spin bowling. Is a complete knobhead of a bloke... he is arrogant, he is obnoxoius... he is just a revolting human being to be blatantly honest.
That's unfair.His family do not need things written like this re their beloved Father,Son,Brother,Uncle etc.He was 'honest' about his mistakes in life..let's respect him,rest in eternal love Shane,RIP.
