10 dream battles between players from different eras 

Shane Warne vs Joe Root

Ad

I can say this without any hesitation. Shane Warne is the best spinner to have graced the sport. In spite of taking fewer wickets than Muralitharan, Warne will be regarded as the greatest because of the way he bowled and the conditions he bowled in.

Warne troubled almost all the batsman he bowled against. How deadly would he have been in the current era where there are few good players of spin bowling?

Talking about good players of spin bowling, one of the few names that comes to our mind is England's Joe Root. Root has dominated the likes of R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Yasir Shah, Rangana Herath etc. How about a battle between both these Ashes rivals? One may feel that Warne would come out on top but you can never underestimate Root.
