The Magician Celebrates..... Shane Keith Warne….the name mesmerizes you…isn’t?
I was fortunate enough to be born in the era of this Great (this word is quite often misused, but not in the case of Warnie) Aussie cricketer. For me he is the best thing that has happened in cricket. He must be a spoilt brat doing all kinds of illegal stuff (be it cricketing controversies like leaking out weather information prior to a match….I really don’t understand what would happen if he had done that…would it change the consequences of a cricket match and the weather is for everybody to see for themselves, him sending ridiculous SMS’S, taking those banned pills as advised by her mother etc.).What ever is said about this guy, the for sure is a match winner and I his bowling speaks for it.
The start to his international cricket wasn’t that great, where he was hammered all along the park by the Indians and finished up taking a solitary wicket (Ravi Shastri) in the test match. Don’t really want to get into his records as of now as this article is meant to honor to this greatest bowler I have seen in my life.
I was fortunate to see some of the legendary bowlers in action, but I can for sure say this that none were like Warnie. He has several tricks up his sleeve…and number of different deliveries to hurl at the batsmen. His varieties contain the normal leg-spin, the wrong-un, the flipper (goes straight after pitching), and the zooter (goes straight after pitching, but gains momentum after pitching)
He is worthy enough to have received accolades from all corners of the world and we’ll for sure miss the MASTER in action. For me he has been a legend and doing what he does is no joke…believe me! He is definitely a cricketing idol; many youngsters try to emulate his style of bowling, his style and his trait.
Today the 05th of January 2007 a great career has come to an end and finishing with 708 test wickets and over 1000 international wickets, I salute the wizard of spin; Shane Keith Warne

well written mate!! inspite of all those controversies he still remains the best bowler in this generation of course taking nothing away from muttaiah muralitharan.. but then he will be a legend in aussie cricket lore for a long time to come
checked out the new jersey the aussies sport?
must admit it does look good though it reduces the variety (and reduces cricket to generally blue and green)
And if the form they displayed is anything to go by, the other teams might as well quit playing

KD,i agree to the fact that these aussies look invincible...but i some how feel the Lankans are a good bet..the likes of jayasuriya(gosh! he smashed the kiwi's to all parts of the park maan!) and others chipping in with good performances and for me Sangakara is currently the best batman to watch in Asia.What's your take?

davy,Thanks.
yes you are right in saying that he would remain a legend.Was just watching his 93 ashes tour of England and he had the same venom in his bowling at that time...though Gooch smashed him in that particular fixture..he(Gooch) was quite underrated player for me
-GAG.
hmm you know my sentiments towards those clowns... but yeah i must admit, they do look a decent unit... and it's not just their batting, they do have a good variety in their bowling attack and remain the only team from Asia that fields as well...
i'm only worred about their bench strength though (which is why the aussies are the team they are)
