Was Shane Warne the greatest legspinner ever?


Was Shane Warne the great legspinner to have played cricket


Shane Warne was undoubtedly a great legspinner but was he the greatest? Certainly, a lot of young Australians do think that Shane Warne was the best legspinner ever,but older Australian cricket fans do think that Richie Benaud may have been a better legspinner


Some think Shane Warne was not as good as Chandrasekhar of the India cricket team


Chandra or Chandrasekhar evoked as much respect as Shane Warne among the opposing batsmen. To compare Shane Warne and Chandra is obviously unfair,given that the two bowlers were so different.Shane Warne was a traditionally legspinner who liked to give the ball a lot of air while Chandra was almost a fast bowler and tended to skid the ball through.Viv Richards among other great cricketers respected the leg spin bowling of Chandra to a great extent


Was Shane Warne better than Abdul Qadir of the Pakistan cricket team


Abdul Qadir was undoubtedly responsible for the revival of traditional leg spin bowling in the subcontinent and his google was incredible,but it is debatable whether he was as good as Shane Warne


Shane Warne was definitely the greatest legspinner in his time


In summary,Shane Warne was of course the greatest legspinner among his contemporaries,and cricket statistics do not lie, but there were other great legspinners prior to Shane Warne's time who were really great too!
