The Spinners
Pre Series: "I will surprise some people here, but I think this is much closer than it looks. I am going to call this even, on the basis that Giles will get more runs with the bat than Warne."
Post Series: Well, you have to say that overall both of these guys over performed, Giles batted well scoring the vital runs at Trent Bridge and he bowled much better than the Aussies thought, their manager fingered him as the weak link in England's attack and he was certainly not that. But hats off to Shane Warne he was absolutely brilliant, far from being even - Warne bowled out of his skin, batted well [at times] but most importantly was Australia's rock, when all else was going wrong Warne was on hand to bowl, advise or encourage. His sportsmanship was top drawer and he was pushed to the physical limits, bowling 250 overs! His figures of 40 for 797 are incredible. That is like bowling for a whole Test match, bowling out both teams twice from both ends!! Awesome. He is by far and away Australia's star man.
