McCullum ‘feels sorry’ for Oz spinners trying to replace Warne

Auckland, Sep 16 : New Zealand wicketkeeper-batsman Brendon McCullum says that he feels sorry for Australian spinners trying to fill-in the boots of retired great Shane Warne. “I feel sorry for whoever it is who steps into that (spinner’s) role (for Australia). I feel sorry for Haury (Nathan Hauritz) that his run came to an abrupt end,” stuff. co. nz quoted McCullum, as saying.
“Shane Warne... he was the greatest spinner the game has ever seen so to follow that is always going to be tough. I guess they will find a way to develop another one somewhere along the line,” he added.
Cricket Australia has used 11 spin bowling options since Warne’s retirement in 2007.
Nathan Lyon, who made his debut in the ongoing Test series in Sri Lanka, is the latest spinner to join the list.
