Yasir 'best in world', Says Warne

Posted on at



Shane Warne: Yasir is a gifted bowler who has "more natural talent" than he had.
He is probably the best leg-spinner in the world.
The way the ball comes out of his hand, it is just absolutely fantastic. It is as good a leg-break that you can possibly see.
I think he can be as effective in the foreign conditions as he is here. He has got all the toys. He has got a good wrong'un, a good straighter one and a ripping leg-break.
I haven't seen too many leg breaks like that in all my years at the top level. He has as good a leg-break as I have ever seen.
If he thinks clearly and the captain backs him and brings him on at attacking times and not as an afterthought, then I think he will have a long career and will be very successful no matter what the conditions are.
I hope he smashes my records; I hope everyone smashes them. I am not worried about the records. I am all about how you play the game. The statistics look after themselves if you do well.
I hope that people just enjoy watching Yasir Shah bowl. So if he goes on to take break my records it will be fantastic. I will be the first one to congratulate him.
