Steve Waugh praises Warne

SYDNEY, OCT. 16. Former Australian captain Steve Waugh has hailed Shane Warne as the ``ultimate wicket taking machine'' and said only a handful of batsmen have managed to come out on level terms or better him in contests with the ace leg spinner.

Writing for Daily Telegraph, Waugh named in no particular order, Hansie Cronje, Tendulkar, Navjot Singh Sidhu, Salim Malik, Brian Lara and Graham Gooch as a handful of players who could say they have come out on level terms or better than him.

Waugh said Warne, who surpassed Muttiah Muralitharan as the highest wicket taker in Test cricket yesterday, never got tired of working on improving his genius.

``It's not unusual for Warney to get a tape of the day's play and watch every ball he's bowled in his quest for improvement. Shane never allows a batsman to feel settled, changing field settings, engaging in chat with the captain or keeper." — PTI
