Australian spinner Adam Zampa not happy with comparisons to Shane Warne

By Ians English

Melbourne, May 30: Australian leg-spinner Adam Zampa is somewhat miffed at being constantly compared to the legendary Shane Warne, insisting that the approach to the crease is where the similarity between them ends.

In recent games, broadcasters have used split-screen technology to highlight the similarity between the pair and even Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has compared the youngster to Warne.

"Most people who say that probably just see my smooth run-up and don't actually see the ball come out of my hand. There's only one Shane Warne and there's probably only ever going to one guy like him who can bowl as many strong leg breaks all day for five days straight. It's pretty unheard of," Zampa was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au on Monday.

"He was so big and so strong and his leg spinner was just unbelievable. It's something to strive towards, but I'm a long way off that. My run up is similar but that's about it," he said.
