Hmm... interesting.

7 wickets in 28 overs against subcontinental opposition.

So Pakistan fans, who is going to deal with Warne when he
is not restricted to 10 overs?

Careful now, we'll have the answer soon.

(Whoops! I just remembered ODI's don't count!
Disregard the above.  :-))

I thought the Pakistan Police will take care of that, and find some
thing to lock up Shaner for :)

looking forward to the contest between warne's and pakistan. one would
think he is touring alone :)

My oh My !!!

One would really think australia only sends a one man touring team.
Granted Warnes is good but he isnt the end all and be all of existence.
Is he God!!, oops i shouldnt have said that, he might get upset..

the tour is not that far away, so all shall be revealed. Maybe he
should have his name changed and be called Sir Shane Bradman (I.e
cricketing God :)). You are obsessed with the guy. If he does well
so be it, if he doesnt he is obviously not someone to harp on about
till Hell freezes over.

Aamir (tired by some netters preoccupation with Sir Warnes)

Aamir, I would advise you to read my post on Mcgrath.
