“For a guy who did not spin the ball a long way, one of the reasons why he got so many wickets is because he got the bounce and because of his skill.”, Shane Warne said. 

The 50-year-old further added: “He was a super competitor, it was his brain, he thought about the game. Even though he is a gentleman, and he is quiet, he is a super competitor. He is hungry, love calling him a friend. Always did so well.”
