Shane Watson hails Shane Warne as best spinner in the world
The Australia all-rounder, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shane-Robert-Watson-c89688 feels leg-spin prodigy, Shane Warne, is still as good as he was before his retirement from international cricket and can still dominate the batsmen at the highest levels, if the spinner makes a surprising comeback
to the international arena.
Watson, who is playing for Rajasthan Royals under compatriot Warne in the ongoing season 4 of the Indian Premier League, said that the legendary leg-spinner has not deteriorated a little bit since his retirement from international cricket in 2007 and is
still the best in the spin business.
"It has been hard for the guys coming in and trying to make their mark on international cricket with the Australian team. The way Warnie is bowling now, he would continue to dominate world cricket", the Queenslander was quoted as saying by a leading sports
journal.

"It has been mind-blowing for me to see him, after not bowling for a year, be all over batsmen the way he is”, said Watson while talking to the media reporters ahead of his team’s http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Steven-Andrew-Patterson-c91273 rubber against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium on 20 May.
“It is pretty crazy how someone has got that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gordon-James-Muchall-c60376 skill and hasn't lost that control over something that is so difficult to do. If he ever came out of retirement, which he is not going to do, he would still dominate", he added further.
Warne, 41, looked fitter than ever in the latest edition of the lucrative Twenty20 league despite making a comeback to the game after a one year gap. Besides being a rousing skipper of the Rajasthan based franchise, the prolific leg-spinner has been consistent
with the ball as well.
