The theory that I have been trying to back up, is that the top spinners
notably Warne and Mushtaq are better strike bowlers on greentops
than they are on slow turning wickets.
Could those of you who know these wickets please comment.
Hobart, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Rawalpindi, Lahore, The Oval,
Penshawar, Christchurch
Certainly Kingsmead is considered a seamers wicket.

Another interesting trend that emergers is that although Warne seems to
lead ito
one or two wickets in his best performances, Mushtaq is certainly a
better
journeyman.
