A real good piece on Warnie. One remembers that dismissal of Basit. The build up over the last ball, calling Healy over, selling Basit a dummy, as if he was going to bowl and a bomb will explode of the pitch and then the perfect curler. In my mind, it was a better ball than the one that did Gatting in, purely in terms of the theatre and the drama. The supposed ball of the century, though drifted in the air a bit more, going by the replays. Undoubtedly, the greatest spin bowler of our times, arguably of all times.

Perhaps the finest tribute to one of the finest players of our times. Take a bow, buddy!

The worst assault against Shane Warne, as far as I saw, was from lesser known Vinod Kambli. Alas, Kambli was not equally good against pace and had to quit international cricket pre-maturely under unfortunate circumstances.

You must remember your history as well ...how many times india have won a test against Australia ...in the presence of SHANE WARNE....Only one display cannot prove that WARNE was not successful against indians....that diplay was not from your your so called master blaster...but frm laxman....BY the way is there any one who can tell me how many match winning 100s sachin have made ....and how many 100s r abroad and how many in the 2nd innings....waiting

Revisit the 1998 series between India and Australia. Sachin tamed Warne...and even at Sharjah that year. Warne complained of Sachin nightmares...Hee

Abe idiot,
Do you know what statistics mean?Sachin has scored 35 100s, 18 in wins, 10 in loses and 7 in draws..out of these 10 are in 2nd innings.Most modern day greats (lara,Ponting,Inzi et al) have scored 6-7 100s in 2nd innings..So go get a "mind-replacement" somewhere and beome a little sane before criticising a player who has given so mcuh to India...and hey Sachin batted like a champion from 1992-2002..thats 10 years..Ponting started batting like a champ in 2003..lets see if he can continue even till 2008..

Look towards the sky. Now spit with all your might. Chances are, the spit will fly up and then come down quietly, only to smear your face. Got the point, Asim?
