I love the way she sort of floats the ball and variety and control.

Whateley

Great leg spinner.

And it's a real sadness for me in the men's game, Gerard, that I can see leg spinning fading back to where it was in the 1980s before Warne.

Whateley
The Wisdom & Experience of Robert Craddock (15.06.26)

There's just no one around.

Whateley
The Wisdom & Experience of Robert Craddock (15.06.26)

It's such a hard craft.

Whateley

Whateley
The Wisdom & Experience of Robert Craddock (15.06.26)

I'll tell you exactly what's going to happen here.

Whateley
The Wisdom & Experience of Robert Craddock (15.06.26)

Warne will produce 10,000 people copying him and there may be one more leg spinner at test level.

Whateley

It's that hard.

He said, but don't think you're going to get, it's not Bjorn Borg playing tennis.

Whateley
The Wisdom & Experience of Robert Craddock (15.06.26)

Don't think you're going to get leg spinner after leg spinner at test level.

Whateley
The Wisdom & Experience of Robert Craddock (15.06.26)

It's a really hard craft.

Whateley
The Wisdom & Experience of Robert Craddock (15.06.26)

And he was right.

Whateley
The Wisdom & Experience of Robert Craddock (15.06.26)

This was extraordinary.

Whateley
The Wisdom & Experience of Robert Craddock (15.06.26)

Came after the first test lost.

Whateley
The Wisdom & Experience of Robert Craddock (15.06.26)

No one was expecting it except his closest mates, apparently, where he had spoken to them about, he said, you know what, I'm nearly done.

Whateley
The Wisdom & Experience of Robert Craddock (15.06.26)

He hadn't played an enormous amount of test cricket over the last few years.

Whateley
The Wisdom & Experience of Robert Craddock (15.06.26)

But to see him go mid-series, Gerard, was a real surprise.
