The World's 50 Greatest Cricketers

You have less than 24hrs to post a comment with who you think Shane Warne will pick in his Top 10. Here's 20-11.

Ambrose! Good call. You also think he will pick Laxman... interesting. Forgot about Border and Healy. Curious why he'd be a hypocrite to pick Border?

He put Waugh down at 26 because he was a "match-saver rather than a match-winner". Border saved us time and time and time again during the 1980's. You don't remember Border for his match-winning innings.

Of course, I think Border was better than Waugh anyway, but of players who played with or against Warne, it'd be ridiculous to have Border in the top ten and Waugh at 26.

I also think he'll pick Border because Border was the selector who didn't want to drop him in the West Indies in 1999.
