If ever in the history of the game a Leg spinner could be compare to an Off spinner then no other guys apart from Shane Warne and Muttiah Muralitharan could be included!.
the greatest turners of the cricket ball...surpass everyone infact the others can't even be stated in the same league as their's!.
but there has to be 'a best' n so there is....and he for me is SHANE WARNE
although he has bowled alot great googlies and wrong ones!.......but the best he bowled was to Andrew Strauss during the 05 Ashes Series . the flighted ball pitched way out of leg stump Strauss moved his right leg forward to defend it, but neither did he nor did the millions watching new wat would happen in the next milli-second,the ball zipped pass in and hit middle n legG!..
This according to many statisicians and legends was one of the best delivery ever bowled!.
though Muttiah Muralitharan holds world record in tests for scalping the most wickets by surpaasing Warne(now reitred) last year
Muralitharan- 770
Warne- 708
In 2000, Warne was selected by a panel of cricket experts as one of the five Wisden Cricketers of the Century, the only specialist bowler selected in the eminent list.
THE BALL OF THE CENTURY
The great man bowling the greatest ball of the century to take Mike Gatting's wicket. The ball pitched outside leg stump and went on to hit hte off stump sending the english men back to the pavillion wondering about what had just happened!
so according to me it's Warni than Murali!!........!!
