Malcolm Conn of the Australian lashes out at Shane Warne for his list of fifty greatest cricketers.
By ranking Adam Gilchrist at a lowly No.20 and Steve Waugh a laughable No.26 among the cricketers he played with or against, Warne has once again exposed his immaturity and petty jealousies.
It is yet another example of why he was overlooked for both those players in leadership roles, much to his lasting anguish.
However, Gilchrist himself strikes a different tune.
“As far as my position is concerned, to be in his top 20, given the amount of cricketers he has played with and against over the years, well it's a wonderful compliment.”
