Cricket

[The Gaffer]

There's a few people here who come from countries which play this most elegant and demanding of sports, so I thought it was high time there was a thread for it.

Let's start with congratulations to Shane Warne: the first ever spinner to take 500 Test wickets. This guy is probably the best spin bowler ever to play the game. I can still remember him bowling Mike Gatting round his legs back in (?) early 90s with one that turned square. Gatting's (England captain and seasoned pro) expression of disbelief was priceless.

Warne, of course, also holds the record for "most pies eaten during an innings"
