Shane Warne of course. 68 wickets. The only player to have x2 ten wicket hauls at the Gabba. He used to say he liked the extra bounce.

McGrath has 65 wickets.

What is really impressive is the other bowlers below. They all strike under 40.

Pat Cummins has 40 wickets with time to catch up...a strike rate of 39. Extremely impressive.

Top overseas bowler is Richard Hadlee with 21 wickets. Similar to Cummins and Lillee they all have a strike rate under 40. Absolutely lethal.

When Hayden gets boned from 7 I'll take a commentary gig. I won't even need to google stats they'll have someone off camera doing it for me.

What's more I won't talk about AFL at all. Just plug Penrith every now and then.

Richie Benaud and Pat Cummins. Both from Penrith and outstanding individuals. Outstanding place Penrith actually. We have a nice little cricket ground next door to the RL stadium which is currently being refurbished.

Then you go across the road to our wonderful leagues club. Plenty of poker machines to pass the time. Walk a little further and you can stroll along the truly serene Nepean river. If God shaped this planet then we know where he started.

The commentators said Warney liked to bowl there too. I used to love the way he'd set up someone up and he didn't care if he got put over the fence.

We are very lucky to have seen him. Absolutely spoiled growing up watching him bowl.

Macgill was fun too. The drug scandal doesn't look good though.

Richie's a Parra boy through and through.

We even have an oval named after him 5 mins from Commbank Stadium
