The fact that Warne still rated him the best Kiwi batsman he bowled to .....
shit memory from you Warnie
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

@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!

A long read but well worth it for the anecdotes from three Kiwi cricketers.

A bloody good read, but especially:
...
It turned out it wasn’t just verbal tuition – which was always positive and encouraging – for Sodhi, either. The master, one year shy of the half century, was able to give an in-the-flesh demonstration.“One distinct memory I have was a net session, we were in there and [England international] Jos Buttler was the batter,” Sodhi says.
“No-one could get him out, all these young fellas were trying really hard and couldn’t do it. And then Warnie, who’s 49 at the time, rolls his shoulder around, gets a little bit warmed up, and three balls in, bowled a ball that pitched like seven stumps outside leg, Buttler’s run down, it’s turned past him and nailed off-stump.
“It was like, ‘Oh my god. This guy, he’s taking the piss’.”
