Having taken 708 Test wickets and another 293 in ODIs, its fair to say that Shane Warne knows a thing or two about leg-spin bowling! During his stint as an IPL pundit for Sky Sports, we asked the former Australia bowler about the leggies he rates highly, including the best he came up against and who from the current crop could reach the top...Leg-spin hero When I was younger playing backyard cricket with my brother, I really admired Pakistans Abdul Qadir, the leading guy around in the late 1970s and early 80s. But as I got to learn more about cricket, Richie Benaud was obviously a huge hero for me. He is the godfather of leg-spin, the guru. Richie Benaud was the guru of leg-spin bowling, says Warne I was very lucky that Richie, and a lot of ex-leg-spinners for Australia in fact, took a lot of interest in me - Terry Jenner became a very close friend and a real mentor with my leg-breaks, too, teaching me a lot about how to take wickets. There were a lot of guys prepared to help me which I really appreciated as a youngster trying to make it in first-class cricket, especially in the 80s when it was all about fast bowling.Best of Warnes eraI suppose I stopped a few guys playing! We were very lucky in Australia at the time - Stuart MacGill was a very good leg-spinner, but also Adrian Tucker and Craig Howard. The best I played against? Mushtaq Ahmed was outstanding, but it has to be Anil Kumble. Anil Kumble was the best leg-break bowler Warne played against Given he wasnt a big turner of the ball, to take 619 Test wickets shows his skill. He thought about the game, had a great strategy, great tactics, and was a real competitor. He was a gentle giant off the field, and many underestimated him because of it, but he was fierce on the field. He has become a good friend since - us leg-spinners stick together!Best in the IPLIt is great to see the importance placed on leg-spin in the game currently. I was at the World T20 and there were about eight or nine in the tournament who had an impact. It is great to see captains have faith in those leg-spinners - they are not only being picked but getting thrown the ball in tough situations. Piyush Chawla has impressed Warne in the IPL Piyush Chawla stands out for me in the IPL. I wish India would pick him because I really enjoy watching him bowl. I dont think a lot of batsmen pick him out of the hand and although he might bowl a little bit of buffet stuff at times, mostly he seems to do well. Id certainly like him in my T20 side.Most underratedI actually think the young English batting all-rounder, Scott Borthwick, is very underrated. It is very hard playing up in Durham as a leg-spinner - freezing cold all the time and it seams around all over the place. It may be best for his development if he were to move counties - sorry, Durham! His batting has really come on, but I hope he hasnt shelved his leg-spin, as I think he could play for England as a genuine all-rounder. Scott Borthwick is underrated and could play as an all-rounder for England, says Warne Promising youngsterThere are a few. Adam Zampa is very promising, and is doing well for Australia. Ive also worked with a few of the young English leggies - Josh Poysden at Warwickshire is pretty good. Theres also Mason Crane down at Hampshire, although Ive only seen video footage of him as yet.Adil Rashid still has a lot to offer as well but I think Borthwick is the guy of the future. He could be outstanding for England, if he can just stick at his bowling. He can take you wickets on the last day, can do a job with the bat and is still pretty young.Warne will be part of Sky Sports punditry team for the third Investec Test between England and Sri Lanka at Lords.

Ron Jaworski Eagles Jersey . Just as Montreal was settling into the first full working week of a new year, the Impact announced the appointment of their new head coach. KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessees 49-10 loss to Alabama on Saturday was another costly one on the injury front as running back Alvin Kamara suffered an injury to his left knee, leaving his status for the rest of the year uncertain.The fear is that Kamara damaged his lateral collateral ligament (LCL) and possibly his meniscus, sources told ESPN.com. Hes scheduled to be further evaluated.At his weekly news conference Tuesday, head coach Butch Jones declined to get into specifics about Kamaras injury, saying, Everything is wait and see.The Vols have an open date this week and face South Carolina on Oct. 29.Kamara, who set a school record with 312 all-purpose yards in a 45-38 double-overtime loss to Texas A&M on Oct. 8, appeared to be shaken up in the first quarter against Alabama on a punt return. He carried the ball eight times for 21 yards in the game.Jones confirmed that sophomore defensive tackle Kahlil McKenzie?is out for the remainder of the season after suffering a torn pectoral muscle against Alabama. Sophomore offensive lineman Jack Jones tore a tendon in his hand and underwent surgery, but is hopeful of returning in two weeks against South Carolina.We have a lot of guys that are injured and banged up, Jones saidd.dddddddddddd Its been a long, long season.More than 10 players in the starting rotation have missed games, including some of the Vols best players such as running back Jalen Hurd, cornerback Cam Sutton and linebackers Jalen Reeves-Maybin and Darrin Kirkland Jr.Reeves-Maybin, one of four team captains, is out for the rest of the season, but Kirkland hopes to return for the South Carolina game.Ive never been through a year like this in coaching, ever, Jones said.The surgery for Reeves-Maybin, who had 206 total tackles over the past two seasons, likely ends his college career, though the senior from Clarksville, Tennessee, hasnt completely ruled out the possibility of seeking a medical redshirt. Reeves-Maybin already has earned his degree.My legacy probably could have been a little different if I would have played this whole year, but I still think Im a leader of this team, a captain, Reeves-Maybin said. I still think I can help us win games. I think I still have a lot of respect [from] all my teammates. I still feel like I have a job to do.The Associated Press contributed to this report. ' ' '
