Yeah, Ambrose. 7 for 1 and all. Stand alongside McGrath's 5-2 at Lords last year as the best single spell I've ever watched live from a pace bowler.

Kumble's spell was a bit of a case of nobody else being able to take the wickets, really. The pitch was an absolute shocker and taking 8/141 is a great effort, but Warne really destroyed a side, so it's Warne for me.

Wow, tough one. Marshall got a bit more of the top order, and got Gooch, Gatting and Gower while Harmison only really got Chanderpaul in terms of quality batsmen. So Marshall for me.
Really could go either way though.
