Warne's best Australian ODI XI from the past 25 years

[NZTailender]

Cook is miles better than Gooch and Boycott.

Yeah what'd Boycott ever do except average 47 facing the likes of Hadlee, Garner, Holding, Lillee, Hall, Pollock, Marshall, Dev et al. I mean I know Cook's faced McGrath, Steyn, Warne and Murali but, yeah, you could argue but he is nowhere near 'miles' better.

No, he's not.

Michael Vaughan? Bugger off Warnie.

 

[indiaholic]

if they suffer amnesia and forget that hobbs, sutcliffe, hutton, boycott and gooch exist.

He is going to be around for 7 more years. I think he will be placed amongst those.

 

[GIMH]

yeah dunno why i didn't immediately think of that.

Probably just because you aren't all that bright tbf

 

[Red]

tl;dr

PS that whole passage was an Ashley Mallet fantasy.

Anyone else's emails get discovered in that Ashley Mallet fantasy hack?

Michael Vaughan? Bugger off Warnie.

Flogged Australia in Australia in 2002/03 and captained the only England side to beat Warne. Easy selection really.

Boycott and Gooch, absolutely. needs to have an insanely good run to be up there with Hutton, Hobbs and Sutcliffe though.

Hey Shane Warne has made a new team:

WARNE'S GREATEST SOUTH AFRICA TEST XI (since 1990) Graeme Smith, Gary Kirsten, Jacques Kallis, AB De Villiers, Hansie Cronje (c), Jonty Rhodes, Mark Boucher, Shaun Pollock, Pat Symcox, Dale Steyn , Alan Donald.

"Lastly, sorry Mr Cullinan but couldn't squeeze you in," Warne wrote with an excess of exclamation points. "Was fun bowling to you though!"

Hey Shane Warne has made a new team:

I guess Warne in addition to his love of his beloved Mary Jane is beard-phobic.

 

[NZTailender]

Does raise an interestingish question: who has been South Africa's best spinner since re-integration?

 

[honestbharani]

Did he ever play against Amla though? He mentions he needs to have played a proper game against them for them to be eligible for these teams..

Kind of begs the question as to the point of a 'last 25 years' side though doesn't it. Given the **** retired eight years ago.

 

[Furball]

I'm sure he would've played against Amla when he was crap.

Yeah.. but he is always after a good print line though..

 

[Red]

Can someone invite Warne to my ATG arguing and discussing thread so he can stop stinking up Facebook with his ****?

 

[NUFAN]

Rudi Bryson was a slightly odd name for Warne to mention. I remember his name but no little else. I'm guessing he is a mate of Warne.

I'm not minding his teams it appears as though he is doing it for free..

 

[_Ed_]

It's NZ's turn! Shane clearly holds a grudge against Mark Richardson for catching him on 99.

 

[Gob]

I really dont think he puts any kind of thinking process for these teams

 

[Howsie]

He's just a spaz.
