Did you mean County Cricket ?He's outbowled Warne this CC.
Indeed, and I can guess that some disparaging comment about CC will come now.Did you mean County Cricket ?
CC is a poor standard of cricket and shouldn't count for anything. Division Two shouldn't even be classed as First Class Cricket, inflats the averages of Chris Read's and Hamish Marshall's of the World.Indeed, and I can guess that some disparaging comment about CC will come now.
I'll agree with that bolded bit, but tell me that a match involving: Paul Collingwood, Michael di Venuto, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Liam Plunkett, Otis Gibson, John Crawley, Kevin Pietersen, Nic Pothas, Dimitri Mascarehnas, Shane Warne and Daren Powell is 'of a poor standard'. I know I've taken an extreme, but I'd hardly call CC a poor standard.CC is a poor standard of cricket and shouldn't count for anything.

Was that good enough?
In comparison to Saqlain/Mushy he is and that was the point being made.That Kaneria has outperformed Warne and is not completely useless.
Anyway, we know he's not completely useless. But he's not as good as Mushtaq or Saqlain, really, in spite of having the advantage of, respectively, a generally decent temperament and being a wristspinner.
AWTA. Bowlers will always have a bad series or tournament, doesn't necessarily make them worse than a bowler who had a good series or tournament. Too many different variables involved to make such a judgement, not just wickets and average. Ground conditions, quality of batting, how dependant the team is on that bowler etc.In 1992 or whenever Tendulkar played in County Cricket there were many players who outscored him, doesn't mean they were any good. Success in County Cricket is completely irrelevant here.
