Shane Warne - comeback

[Grunt]

I was thinking about Warnie.

Last time we had a discussion about him, it was said that he was the greatest bowler ever even though his averages don't suggest that. This was OK, because he's a spinner. It was also said that he takes the wickets of tail-enders and that was the sign of a great bowler.

So let me get this straight. Shane Warne is the Greatest Ever Bowler even though he takes more balls, concedes more run and takes wicket against weaker batsman than Lillee, Hadlee, McGrath or Ambrose?

[Lignum]

and takes wicket against weaker batsman than Lillee, Hadlee, McGrath or Ambrose?

Their arnt to many more weaker batsmen than them (hadlee the exception)

[Grunt]

Let me rephrase that,

than the wickets of top order batsmen that Lillee, etc. would constantly take.

Are you saying that McGrath is a crap batsman?

[ptc]

he is better than I am.

Errm - 1+1+1=......3! I think that's called a whitewash, thrashing, mauling etc etc.

Keep it and we'll get the Mods to remove that "Tassie" part of your name

Enlighten me, isn't Tasmania where they can wear 2 [black] caps at the same time?

or

at least, so it has been rumoured.

Ah yeah, standard aussie answer when they lose - it was this, that, the other - get over it fellas, we chased record run scores set by your 'second rate' team, and beat you fair and square. Just like the poms did, in fact. Last is still last. See you at the world cup.

Not a chicken BTW, but cute none the less. At least we don't make a sport out of slaying ours. We certainly don't eat it. Well, not in the last 2 centuries anyway.

Hey Kiwi,

We know where you live
