[Joe]

he not just the greatest spinner of all time he's the greatest bowler of all time

Murali was better

[Johnny]

No way was murali better!

He had an unfair advantage due to a deformity - warne is just pure talent!

[turnitayard]

he doesn't have the variety warne has or had

[Nickauger]

I agree, would much rather watch the Warne X-factor.

[Joe]

he doesn't have the variety warne has or had

He could bowl off-spin and leg-spin, could spin the ball both ways with each action, had a whole variety of tricks up his sleeve and 800 test wickets sums it up quite nicely really.

[Nickauger]

Nah! In the minority Joe lol

[turnitayard]

there is a reason why he is out numbered warnes a legend he invented a new ball nearly every year when he was at his peak,he had the googly the slider the toppie the dipper the wrong un and he stock ball was the big leg spinner,he"s a genius simple as

[pacman75cricket]

think it was mind games why he was so clever always outwitting batsmen, thought he said he only had 5 deliveries the rest was phycological.

[roco]

Big big reason murrali took that many wickets was the amount of overs he bowled due to being the only real threat apart from vaas who was not always dangerous

Warne was one of the threats with McGrath lee and others

[The_Bird]

Warne bowled in a team full of quality bowlers, other mortals wouldn't of stood out.

[turnitayard]

couldn't put it better myself mate

[Tumo]

Not easy to split Warne, Kumble, Murali, and a few others (I imagine O'Reilly, Laker, Grimmett would have been at the same level, and MacGill, Qadir and Mushtaq would have probably been there or thereabouts too!), but Warne stands out for his ability to take a game by the scruff of its neck, to control it, and he just stands out as a tactician, naturally talented bowler, and a purveyor of proper "gamesmanship". One of a kind, no spinner will ever match up to him.

Sidney Barnes - now there's a bowler....and a fast spinner to boot!

You are just jealous that Warnie slimmed down and took Liz from under your nose Fattus...haha

She could have been yours if you only treated your body like a temple

[MD2812]

You also need to break down the teams murali and Warne took their wickets against, Warne took his against the (after Australia) best teams around, Murali against the bottom teams around.....
