The biggest strength of Shane Warne was his ability to make things happen out of nowhere. Warne had a fantastic career in Tests with 708 wickets.

More than sixty per cent of his Test career was in Australia and England where he picked up 448 wickets. But ODI career was short when compared with the five-day format.

While he was mighty effective with the white ball, the leggie has only one 5-wicket haul in ODIs. It was against West Indies in 1996.

On the other hand Sachin Tendulkar has two 5-wicket hauls under his belt.

Sachin was more than a handy leg-spinner and has had a few memorable spells. His 5-wicket haul came against Australia at Kochi in 1998. Australians were cruising in their chase of 310 when Sachin came on to bowl. From 203/3 he reduced them to 259/9. His scalps included the likes of Steve Waugh, Micheal Bevan, and Damien Martyn.

Interestingly, his second five-wicket haul was at the same venue against Pakistan in 2005. His spell derailed the Pakistan innings as India won the match by 87 runs. With this stat, Sachin would pull his friend's leg over his domination with the ball as well.
