@donsteppa lol, making one of our very best players ever look like a park cricket #8
Have tried and failed so far to find their head to head stats. That first ball isn't a million miles from the Gatting one...
I remember reading something to the effect that Crowe forced himself to play Warne as a straight bowler, and then played for the turn late. There's a lot of mutual admiration quotes between the two of them.
I can recall reading an article around the time MC passed away in which he talked about specifically measuring the turn on Warne's deliveries and determining the exact length he needed to use his forward defence. I'm obviously mangling the specifics, but it was fascinating to see how much thought and even science went into it.

@donsteppa I remember reading an article in one of the UK papers ahead of that first Ashes series. In it Crowe warned England that Warne was something special and to be feared.
The general tone of the article was very condescending, implying NZ might have struggled but facing England would be an entirely different proposition
BOOMFAH!

Warne v Crowe:
Was that a Kiwi umpire for the last ball?
Pitching leg, smashing middle.

Yeah and Haddin always played fair ( says MN5 without even bothering to watch the video )

@nta C'mon be fair it was missing both the leg and off stumps 2/3 ain't bad.
Crowe was a bloody good player of spin. The fact that Warne had him tied up in knots, so early in his (Warnes) career, speaks volumes. Crowe averaged 25 in matches against Warne. The fact that Warne still rated him the best Kiwi batsman he bowled to .....

Lot what the fuck? Trying to play reverse mental games against a bogan who doesn't give a fuck what you think. Yeah, that'll work.

Craig McMillan thought he was a lot better than he was
