Name one Asian player who does thatYou can see Warne's influence today with Smith and Warner's actions. It's just instinct to try and bowl like Warne, right down to the lazy walk up to the crease, when having a go at leg spin. It's now synonymous with him
Again, all of this comes from an Australian perspective. You just can't seem to see it because of the Aussie perspective you have. None of this is actually true apart from the fact that Warne did become the face of leg spin, yes. But that is not even close to the same thing as him reviving leg spin.no need for sarcasm ***** jeez. was just agreeing with jedi and adding a further point.
look, when i say 'leg spin' i feel everyones name jumps to Warne. He's the biggest household name. I dont know much about Asian kids but considering how Brett Lee is treated over there I wouldn't be surprised if Warne was well loved and imitated by young kids learning leg spin too, maybe none who made the national team but whatever
maybe he wasnt the sole reviver of the art but he was the leader, or the face of the revival. IMO
and maybe it wasnt completely dead by the time he arrived on the scene, but it was at least dying. one renowned leg spin in qadir hardly changes that. he also doesnt have that great a record. but thats not what im debating either
According to honestb if you bowled leg spin you were part of the revival. Didn't actually have to be any good

Why are we even talking about different countries though? Of course they're going to have different role models. Not many people in Australia really cared about Tendulkar that much (except for kids with Indian-heritage) but that doesn't mean he wasn't influential around the world.
Anyone seen that video floating around facebook of the guy in slip who dropped a sitter than took a screamer next ball? Amazing video.
I would link it but don't want to log into FB at work
How could we forget this superstar
There've been dozens of off spinners with dodgy looking actions bowling the doosra post Saqlain/Murali. They revived the lost art of off spin imo.
yeah but most of us don't really care about that cricket

do you even have any idea what the word "world cricket" means? Unless you can point out that there were no legspinners at all in world cricket before Warne got famous, your point is just as stupid as your posts on this matter have been.no need for sarcasm ***** jeez. was just agreeing with jedi and adding a further point.

Brilliant clip. Gotta love when the overweight middle age guys pull off stunners.Anyone seen that video floating around facebook of the guy in slip who dropped a sitter than took a screamer next ball? Amazing video.

God you've got quite the ego don't you honestb
I can't think of many super famous leg spinners other than qadir in the decades leading up to the Warne era. I know Mushy and kumble debuted before him but it's all the same era. So yeah that was the point I was getting at.
Anyway you need to learn how to discuss something without making personal attacks
