Top 25 cricketers of Shane Warne's Career - as decided by CW

[PhoenixFire]

1. Lara
2. Tendulkar
3. Ambrose
4. Wasim
5. McGrath
6. Flower
7. S Waugh
8. Warne
9. Murali
10. Ponting

I just copied Manan's list and made a few adjustments. I agreed with it mainly though.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Most if not all of whom are also better than Brett Lee too. And Stuart MacGill.
.

Haha Dion Nash.....

Harmison might not be that good, but to suggest that Dion Nash is betetr than his is just too far imo.

 

[Pup Clarke]

That's pretty much a Pup Clarke effort tbh.

4. Lara

[Richard]

Only the top ten.

Here is mine:

1. McGrath
2. Tendulkar
3. Ambrose
4. Wasim
5. Lara
6. Gilchrist
7. Donald
8. Warne
9. Murali
10. Ponting

Waugh very unlucky to miss out.

Hmm...

• Tendulkar
• Ambrose
• Lara
• Donald
• Stephen Waugh
• McGrath
• Andy Flower
• Wasim Akram
• Murali = Warne
• Warne = Murali

It's kinda impossible to mix bowlers though... how on Earth can one argue that Tendulkar was a better batsman than Ambrose was bowler? I've basically just gone... one bowler, one batsman... TBH. Andy Flower obviously has to get in because he's a wicketkeeper-batsman.

 

[Richard]

Haha Dion Nash.....

Harmison might not be that good, but to suggest that Dion Nash is betetr than his is just too far imo.

Dion Nash was a very, very fine bowler.

What's more, unlike Simon Doull, he could bat a bit. Surprised you'd take issue with Nash and not Doull.

EDIT: "betetr than his is"? ?

Yeah 15 or 20 sounds way better, with just top 10 the choices are becoming too limited and we will not end up with more then 15-17 players.
