"But this time I'd stop and I'd look back, and I'd say 'you are the greatest Australian that I know, and I cherish our friendship, and I've always been honoured to be in your presence'."Former England captain Nasser Hussain is adamant Warne was the best bowler to ever play cricket."You were the greatest bowler I ever saw, and in the last 10 years it's been an absolute privilege to share a comm-box with you and call you a friend.
