RE:If Shane had played against India in as my TESTS as England

That is like saying... if Tendulkar and co. had played more against McGrath, we would have seen the other side of that card too.
On another note, I would like to see Rahul Dravid's stats playing Shane Warne - just to counter the argument that Indian batsmen ALL have conquered Warne...
The statistics goes on to prove that (a) Sharme Warne has devsatated almost all batsmen. The maximum wickets that he has taken id of the openers which is an eyw-opener to other spinners. (b) he has been very successful in 2004, after he has come back from his 12 month ban. This goes on to prove that ups and downs definitely happens. But one needs an opportunity to put its detractors on the backfoot; (c) he has been nost unsuccessful against India. (d) he has been most successful against its arch rivals England.
Bu the way Hansie Crinje is a South Sfrican and and not English as has been given in the statistics
In the article there are some wrong facts about players under Warne's bunnies heading , it is shown that both Hansie Conje and Dave Richardson play for England. This is absolutely incorrect.
Please check the facts before publishing the articles online..
Hi R, i want to correct ur database in context with this warne's record which u hav shown here, the correction is to make under the " Warne Bunnies" section, where the list most victims and here u hav listed South African "Hansie Cronje" as an England Player, but according tome or other he was a popular South african Captian, and u lasted him as England Player do correct this entry.....
Hats off to Shane Warne. This is a rare achievement and except Muralitharan, no one has got the potential to equal it. In fact, if any one could break this record, it would be a spinner and not a pacer as it would require enormous consistency and fitness. Courtney Walsh had taken 500 wickets at the age of 39, but the pace at which Cricket is being played, especially one-day cricket, I think it is burning the pacers out. Spinners, on the other hand, are more relaxed. So, a spinner only can do it. May be from the Mecca of Spin Bowling, i.e. India....
