8 pairs of cricketers who had telepathic understanding between them

Wasim and Waqar were arguably the greatest fast bowling pair of all-time

#2 Shane Warne and Ian Healy

This is a telepathic pair that rarely gets talked. But Warne, who played almost half his Test matches with Healy as the wicket-keeper will always have a lot to thank the specialist behind the stumps, especially in his formative years.

Warne and Healy almost always understood each other, Healy always up to the task whether it is with the vicious leg-spinner that would turn and bounce, the wide fired down the leg for a stumping chance or the flipper.

Healy read Warne beautifully and over the years managed to take some spectacular catches, contributing to a lot of the 322 wickets Warne took while they played together. That Warne’s best innings and match figures came while Healy was around is no surprise.
