Shane Warne announces this greatest 50 cricketers that he has played with or against.

[acker]

To have Alec Stewart on the list and Adam Gilchrist off it, it will be regarded as the greatest cricket joke of the 22nd century.

Funny one Warnie....

Am I seeing things, or does number 20 on that list say something along the lines of "Adam Gilchrist"?

Just checking...

Gilchrist being on the list is inevitable: even as a critic I'd have had him somewhere on that list. Stewart's place is also intelligible... just not for anything he was able to offer at any one time in his career: of his compatriots I'd have had Gough, Caddick, Fraser, Thorpe, Russell, Piper and Ramps in ahead as greater (more able) players... but Stewart's sheer length of service at International level (and especially his pyjama cricket) makes his elevation above them perfectly reasonable.

There are more curious inclusions on the list...

4 Australian Michael's should have made the list ahead of Stewart.

Clarke
Bevan
Hussey
Slater

Warnie where was your head stuck ?
