    Always had a soft spot for Daniel Vettori, a NZ captain in waiting, but Warney, obviously.

    Yeah always liked Vettori myself, great use of drift and flight.

    I have a feeling Shane will run away with this one!

    I think I might start a new stickie for all you guys pimping your clubs!:D

    Might be handy to get the various clubs and times training starts again in one place

    Aye Warne has it. Macgill is a better spinner imo but Warney is by far the better bowler.

    I should have had a 'who is the second best spin bowler' poll instead!

    Macgill sure can make it turn, should get in the australian test squad more, but he nowhere as consistent as warne.

    Assuming a bowler is somebody that delivers a legitimate delivery, Warney ;)

    Not too much of a contest here. Warne obviously. Damn, I wish he was a South African!!

    Only problem is he'd probably be playing for England if that was the case.

    Muralitharan is good but Warney is miles ahead of any competition. But I still love to see Muralitharan bowl with that interesting way he does it with that inside arm flick! (cant really explain how he does it!!)

    Do people not rate Murali because of his dodgy action? I haven't seen that much of him but he takes a shed load of wickets.

    Not disagreeing with the selection of Warne though.
