Geoffrey may not Like Murali's action but that doesent make Shane Warne the best spinner in the world.If you say the most difficult spinner to play in this world in any given pitch its Murali. And I agree he is just not a 'classical' spinner as expected by the old school cricketers. But change is a part of any game and Murali is unique with his style. And if anyone has any complaints about Muralis action , this is what i have to tell them.i agree His action is quite unique, but it doesent mean its chucking. if it was chucking then other spinners would have or could have reproduced it quite easily but still you dont see a spinner in the world who can ball with the accuracy that Murali has.Its the same Like Malinga, he has a unique action that orthodox old school fast bowlers do not like. But its a part of evolution of cricket no matter they accept it or not.
Good list... but i feel it could have been better with the mention of 'record-breakers' from the east. You can overlook statistics but only 'a-little'. Stats does speak... and I am disappointed by exclusion of Asian bowlers who on ANY DAY are better then some mentioned here....
You forgot to mention how handy a batsman Warne was. Capable of making 99 on a good day :) He was a handy lower order batsman and could help a tail wag or support the Australian middle order when Gilchrist was coming in at 6. See 06/07 Ashes series and how he was there for support for M Clarke and Gilchrist
