Shane Warne - First Class Stats: Batting

[Daemon]

When really, really good players are in form, the bowling all comes the same to them. Not just to Smith, but all really top players.

Good to know Smith finds it as difficult to play me as he does Cummins when at his best

As if you get a bowl. Come on

Warne waited 15 years and had scored over 5000 FC runs before his first century against Kent in 2005. His second, and final, century came only two months later against Middlesex. He averaged 32 and 24 that season for Hampshire. Hampshire missed out on the title by just 2.5 points, probably not helped that Warne, Katich and KP were missing for a large chunk of the season.

The tone of this article from the SMH about the Middlesex game is a funny given what happened weeks later.

Warne smashes century for Hampshire

That was 2005 when Warne scored the two 100s (and one 50) for Hampshire in First Class cricket. That form continued on because he scored 249 runs in that Ashes series against England (plus the 40 wickets too). Great series for Warnie. Scored a 90 in that series, a shame he couldn't get to 100.

is no one going to do murali's fc batting? no Warne stat is in context without Murali.

After going through all above posts, one question immediately came to my mind.
Did Warne played in relatively better (quality wise) FC cricket than Muralitharan?

P.S: Their batting stats suggest opposite.

is no one going to do murali's fc batting? no Warne stat is in context without Murali.

but of course
