The second question made me think for a while. Two batsmen being "out" at the same instance ( i mean even if measured in milisecond) would leave the batsmen themselves to decide who is out, since I doubt there is a written rule to it (somebody please correct me here). In this case, if Sachin Tendulkar and Prasad were batting, I think it would be wise for Prasad to leave the wicket (though many would argue that Prasad is a better batsman than Tendulkar :). The third umpires would not be abe to decide who was out first because they both became out at the same time. Certainly, the opposition players can not drag Tendulkar by the scruff of his neck out of the ground? As regards the first question, Shane Warne would be considered a legspinner in general. It is somewhat similar to following the conventional wisdom for the sake of simplicity, say for instance, the direction of travel of electrcity in diagrams where it is shown to travel from +ve to -ve (or is it the other way around?).
