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.

Aside from the trilogy main event title fight, there are a number of intriguing matchups in the heavyweight, welterweight and lightweight divisions. ATLANTA -- Give Rory McIlroy credit for having a good sense of humor.The four-time major winner is the only European Ryder Cup team member in the Tour Championship field and spent a good part of the first two days struggling to find his form.That changed with a 66 on Saturday that got him into a share of third place, giving him a shot not just at the Tour Championship, but the FedEx Cup title as well.Inevitably, next weeks Ryder Cup came up, and McIlroy was asked about the comments of U.S. captain Davis Love III, who in a radio interview this week said the U.S. might have assembled the best team ever.Definitely assembled the best task force ever, thats for sure, McIlory quipped, getting plenty of laughs as he referenced the task force that the U.S. set up in the aftermath of another Ryder Cup loss two years ago.Look, its a great team, McIlroy said. They have a lot of very talented players in there. Theyre obviously quite confident. So you know what, its up to us to go there and try to upset the odds.McIlroy knows nothing else as it relates to the Ryder Cup. Hes played on three European teams starting in 2010, and been on the winning side each time. He has a 6-4-4 record and has never lost in singles.He hasnt had quite the same luck as it relates to the FedEx Cup. Despite coming to East Lake with excellent cchances in 2012 and 2014 -- the latter year being when he won consecutive major titles as well as a World Golf Championship event.ddddddddddddBoth times he was overtaken for the FedEx Cup because he didnt win the Tour Championship.Now he can win the Tour Championship -- and still not win the FedEx Cup.McIlroy, who won the Deutsche Bank Championship three weeks ago, came into the final PGA Tour event of the season sixth in the points standings. That means he needs to win on Sunday and have Dustin Johnson finish in a tie for second or worse.So I need to play well and need one of the others guys to tie him and see what happens, McIlroy said.The Northern Irishman played well Saturday, making four birdies and no bogeys to climb the leaderboard. He is 2 shots back of Johnson and Kevin Chappell, in a third-place tie with Ryan Moore.It gets me closer to what I need to do, he said. I need to go out and play a very similar, if not better, round of golf tomorrow to have a chance. First and foremost, I just need to try and win this golf tournament, and whatever happens after that happens.It would just be great to try and win the Tour Championship, and if the chips fall my way, then so be it.
