Was that sarcasm?
McGrath was better than Warne.
Ask an Indian batsman who they would like to face and they would pick Warne.
McGrath proved his greatness in every country he played.
India owned Warne from ball one.
Even in their last series together McGrath out performed Warne as usual.
In every department except total wickets he was better,just like most of their careers.
Alot of people were questioning his place and he comes out with figures that made Harmison the #1 ranked bowler a while back.
It is the whole Mohamed Ali(the boxer)thing all over again.
Charisma inflates peoples perception of their sporting achievements.
I love watching Roger Federar destroy his opponants.
I like watching greatness.
Australian Rules Football has produced a boat load of top father and son combinations.
