Shane Warne's Top 50 Cricketers

[aussie1st]

Warne sure didn't hold back on Waugh.

"Yes, he [Waugh] scored a lot of runs, but to me he was a match-saver rather than a matchwinner. That is why he is not higher," Warne said. "There were also times when he struggled against the short ball.

"But he had good all-round capabilities and was always reliable in the gully. Mark Taylor handed him a wonderful team."

Part 4 up.

Thought Gilly would be slightly higher.

Mark Waugh is a bit high considering I feel he underacchieved given his talent & probably batted at the 2 easiest places in both forms of the game.

Warne's list clearly breaks the widely accepted rankings of certain players, I find it intriguing.

Darren Lehmann is way to high. He'd be lucky to make my top 150. Steve Waugh should be higher too.

Part 3 up in first post.

Lehmann rated better than Tugga? Now that's a surprise. Because Tugga was a match saver instead of a match winner. I find that kind of weird.

Not to mention Lee ahead of Tugga too. Interesting also that his brother beat him.

Sachin Teendulkar is good but not that good. Lara in his prime was better. Shane Warne is a world class twat and an embarressment to his State and Country

No doubt, I feel that Lara could win matches for his country off his own blade alone, he played in a crappy team and still got results for them - he is a legend.

Warney = Legendary.

Warney = Legendary.

Warney=trash (drug taking trash too). He is a bad example to the younger generation. Cricketers are not just sportsman, they are heros and rolemodels. They should behave properly.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Warney = Legendary.

Warney on the field = Legend

Warney off the field = Bleep who I do not like.

Fair comment I agree.

Agreed actually. I personally don't like Warne and I never have, but no one can deny how talented he is and what a great cricketing brain he's got, and the sort of effect he's had on cricket over the last decade or so.

Tendulkar deserves 1 IMO.
If you guys don't remember, Tendulkar was team India for like the whole 1990's.
If he didn't score, we'd just switch off our TV's. we still won games.

I would stil say India was better than W.I.s in the 1990s.

People Seem to have a mental block that tendulkar is no match winner.which
is rubbish every match india has won it has always been tendulkar with
his batting or bowling or fielding he is the ultimate team man and role model
to youngsters.Lara was a selfish cricketer and was not a team man as he said at last he entertained the crowds but it is not the crowd you play for
you play for your team and country .
