two legenadary performances, but Ambrose's spell of 7-1 would give him the nod for me..

[aussie]

again brilliant efforts for two of the games Greatest spinners, both destroying the opposition after their side made big 1st innings totals, but i'll give it to Laker for the more impressive match analysis.

 

[nightprowler10]

Warne for getting 7/23 on a pitch where Saqlain got 2/130.

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Warne for getting 7/23 on a pitch where Saqlain got 2/130.

I'm going with Warne too, for that reason and the fact that the GABBA is no spin-bowling paradise and that display was incredible.

 

[Perm]

Warne for me aswell. Brilliant effort.

 

[Dasa]

Laker.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Warne. Keeps it even.

 

[a massive zebra]

Laker.

 

[GIMH]

Laker - I'm reliably informed that the 9fer was better than the 10fer

 

[Laurrz]

Warne

Has to be Laker for mine. It's not often I agree with Charles Colville, but has there ever been a better sporting performance in any sport than his 19/90?

The only comparable one I can think of is Jesse Owen's beating 3 & equalling another World Record in an afternoon.
