[SJS]

Lets put it this way Matteh my dear.

If you think that

• Roger Twose is a better batsmen than Tendulkar
  
• Bond a better bowler than McGrath and Wasim
  
• Hogg a better batsman (cricketer) than Ricky Ponting
  
• Moody a better cricketer than Steve Waugh
  
• Bell a better batsman than Lara and
  
• Dewald Pretorius (I must admit I had no clue there was an international cricketer by that name) a better cricketer than Lara, Tendulkar, Warne, McGrath, Ambrose, wasim and hosts of others

then I think I must leave this debating arena to occupy in your solitary splendour since I am clearly a misfit here.

For those who are as ignorant as yours tuly about who Pretorius is , let me give them the information.

Ideally i wanted Darren Maddy in there, but he never played against Warne, so that was that.

I cant say about others, but that certainly is not true in my case. I consistently rate Wasim and Warne as two of the best players in Warne's era. Not only were they great bowlers and achieved great success,but also highly skillful and very entertaining and that's why they are my top 2 cricketers of last 20 years.

In this thread I didn't include Warne, because I was under the impression that we were picking bets players of warne era excluding warne and I was too lazy to go and update my list when I found that we could pick Warne too.

Thats just great .Some one who thinks exactly like me .Cheers Buddy .Two W's here Wasim and Warne are my favourite cricketers .They made bowling so sensuous .

Is that the first use of the word "sensuous" in connection with bowling on CW? It's certainly the first I've seen, some of the older members might be able to speak with more authority.

Warney and Wasim would be pleased, I'm sure.

Nice to see Murali so high (i.e ahead of Warne)
