The thing is, Warne's action is actually quite horrible. He makes it work due to huge wrists and massively powerful shoulders, but any other normal human should be bowling legbreaks with a higher arm and more power through the crease - like Yasir Shah or Abdul Qadir. But due to Warne's success, all these youngsters are trying to emulate him, and ****ing up their bowling in the process.

It's like if all players tried to bowl like Thompson/Tait/Malinga. It's not an action that would suit everyone.

Find Bhajji's action pretty cool. Just a mish mash of complicated whirs and it's real fun to imitate in the nets.

Mark Waugh in the field, I rate him below a couple others, but he had class. Catches, stops, even just flicking a ball backhanded at the stumps
