Bradman first, then Warne - Waugh

Steve Waugh says Shane Warne is Australia’s second-greatest player of all time in his Daily Telegraph blog.

It's very hard to judge across eras but Shane Warne would sit pretty comfortably as Australia's second best player ever. The great Sir Don Bradman was the best but after that I believe Shane Warne would slot in pretty nicely at number two.

What made Warne so great was his love of the game. He always enjoyed the challenge of competing against the best in the toughest circumstances - that's when he produced his best.
