Sachin tops the list in “Shane Warne’s Century”!


Warne is now in the news again. But this time after his divorce he has been in news for good things. This time he comes to the limelight for his book “Shane Warne’s century”. This legendary has never been out of the limelight after when he started his carrier as a leg-spinner from Australia. He played more than 100 tests and has become the most wicket taker in the tests, though his record is beckoning to be broken by another spin wizard Muttiah Murlidaran with just 9 wickets to spare. This leggy has taken part in IPL and has been the back bone behind the win of Rajasthan Royals. Now as his book has been released, he is back in action. He considered Master blaster Sachin Tendulkar as the top player in his list.

Warne’s top 100 has been featured with lots of fellow Australians, nine Indians, eight Pakistani players and similar number of Sri Lankan players. Out of the hundreds, he has considered Scahin as the best. This great cricketer has been featured in lots of books written by cricketers due to his greatness in batting in the field and for being a modest person off the field. Warne said that he liked the way Sachin used to handle his spin. He was very much bold and played some outrageous shots against him. His temperament and his attitude towards cricketing shots made Warne to spot Sachin in the no. 1 position just ahead of another West Indian great Brian Lara. Five fellow Australian has been featured in the top ten. They are Allan Border, Glenn McGrath, Ricky Ponting, Mark Taylor and Ian Healy. Spin wizard Murlidaran was considered as no.7 in his list while the 3rd position was given to Curtly Ambrose. Among the Indians, Rahul Dravid, Anil Kumble, Ravi Shastri, Dilip Vengasarkar and Kapil Dev are the other players to feature in the top 50.
