Ditto apart from bond - if he will ever be fit again!!

P.s big debate should be warne vs mcgrath, pretty bloody hard to split.

Yeah I agree but Bond was ignored because he has not played in ages.

McGrath easily, he gets most of the big wickets for Australia, a high proportion of Warne's victims are tailenders. McGrath has caused the very best like Lara and Tendulkar difficulties - Warne just gets hammered against them. Unlike Warne, McGrath hardly ever has a bad series and has a better record against 5 of the 8 teams both bowlers have played against.

Those people that prefer Warne are simply following the typical ill educated media bandwagon, and their opinion has no sound basis in reality.

Yes. Finally we get to debate between the Aussie greates, Warne and McGrath. Should be interesting to see who people choose.

Australia - McGrath
Bangladesh - Rafique
England - Harmison
India - Kumble
New Zealand - Vettori (If Bond returns I'd choose him)
Pakistan - Akhtar
South Africa - Pollock
Sri Lanka - Muralitharan
West Indies - Bravo

Hit the nail on the head! Not that i underestimate warne in any way though.
