    But who has the most good days?

    Also, I think that it is actually the other way around. (Disclaimer: I may well be wrong here) but I think that MacGill has more 5-fors for the number of innings he has played in than Warne, but Warne is more consistent.

    This is highlighted by the fact that this last innings is the most expensive innings that Warne has ever bowled (in internationals at least).

    FROM S. Rajesh on CricInfo, "never before has he bowled more than ten overs and finished with an economy rate of greater than five."
    That is absolutely amazing from a guy who has played so many tests...

    Yeah, I just checked, his frequency of 5-fors is much higher. You can see from the link in my post on the front page... I am beginning to think that I have spent far too much time on this.

    With a flipper like Warnie's, who needs a wrong 'un
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    I must be watching a different Warnie than you. I have seen him (THIS SUMMER) bowl an over with four wrong'uns all of which span more than most offies would.

    The reason Ritchie BENAUD was so impressed with SKW was because he had perfected his wrong'un so early in his career. Took BENAUD 8 years to perfect it. (so he says)

    Is there anything easier done than said?

    Funny, I had always thought that the wrong 'un was the only weak ball in Warnie's armoury. He had the flipper early on that was lethal, but I thought that the wrong 'un usually didn't really turn much. Instead it was more that he had great control and variation. Mind you, I was pretty young when Warnie started his career...

    HOWEVER, he has recently picked up his wrong 'un a lot and I agree that this summer it has been turning significantly.

    Can't say I saw that over.

    Can't speak for Benaud either but for mine Warne's wrong 'un hasn't turned much in all the years I've watched him.

    Most of his dismissals have either been with the big ripping leg break or the one that goes straight on.

    He doesn't bowl the flipper much nowadays, basically since his shoulder re-construction.

    He is also a master of mind games and a champion manipulator of umpires.

    I'm going to miss him when he finally retires.

    LOL...

    Warnie's biggest weapon?

    The wrong 'un? Nope.
    The leg-break? Nope.
    The flipper? Nope.

    Answer: The dirty look at the umpire! :eek:
