Remember Wrist Spin out of all bowling arts is harder to perfect at a younger age.
No spinner spins the ball as much at 18-19 than they will at 22-23.

The most important thing is to just look at the spinner.
Warne succeded more than most spinners due to the fact he bowled the ball with the seam at a 45 degree angle rather than most leggies who aim for nearer 90 degrees.
The result is warne makes the ball dip in flight. Ive lost count of the amount of wickets he got from batsmen mis-judging the length of a delivery and not getting to the pitch.
Yes despite this he could still spin the ball as much as most leggies who bowled with a much bigger angle on the seam.

Not to forget Warnes first bowling figures in test cricket. 150 odd for 1 wasnt it? im sure someone will look it up :) hardly world class was it :rolleyes: .
