Would Warne know who Ross Taylor is? I doubt it.
I dislike Warne as a commentator because he doesn't do his job particularly well. Mark Taylor in that box does a better job at describing why fielders are being placed where they are. Moreover, someone like Jim Maxwell on ABC Radio who is forced to give a better description (because radio listeners can not see what's going on) does a better job again.
I wouldn't put Warne in the Top 5 of anything at the moment.
