you greatly underestimate Dizzy.
Warne would be the leading wicket taker no doubt because there were no spinners arywhere near his class around, and still arn't.
and if you reakon they were bowling 110mph

Underestimate dizzy ? nah.
I've seen the bowling quality of the 70s and 80s and particularly of the WI.
Dizzy, like i said, would struggle to get into the Barbados FC squad, let alone WI squad.
Warne the leading wicket-taker ?perhaps but he wouldnt be one-man army against the WI like he is aginst the saffies or the english..or the paks.
Warne is a great spinner and probably the best leggie ever...but dont forget that the likes of Bedi,Chandra,Prasanna,Qadir etc. were no bunnies with the ball, especially Bedi and Chandra...and most of the WI top order faced those two and handled them pretty well.
and they were all bowling in the high-mid 90s range, not 110...that 110 was just a metaphorical example.
As per Warne being the best spinner today...lets not go there. One certain Muttiah Muralitharan would blast that claim to oblivion.
Remember- you aint the best until you prove yourself against the best.
Best players of spin is the IND team.
Murali's figures are pretty mediocre against them but Warne's is like a schoolboy's.
