And are you suggesting Murali is?

You wouldn't want me to talk about his action. Yet to are bringing up Murali again and again. KettA, obviously Warne is to be compared-nu solluveenga. Fair enough.

But then my comparison will begin and end with the outright dismissal of someone with such an action. aRaicha maavu and all that.

Of course Murali trumps Warne in wickets in all circumstances, won more matches than any other cricketer who has ever played the game. Tests, ODI, home, away - everywhere. Murali's record is phenomenal and going to stand forever. podhumA?

But if you are going to bring him up again and again to downplay Warne's achievement I am going to have to bring up my Murali grouse too.

Feeyaar, if you dismiss Murali's wickets due to action, I will dismiss Warne's many wickets that were not actually wickets but were got because he knew how to pressure the umpire and force him to give decisions in his favour. Ofcourse, I cant prove it just as you cannot prove that Murali threw.

And I repeat, England was the Bangladesh of batting against good spinners. 200 wickets against them should be discounted if you discount Murali's wickets against Zim/Ban.

I am ok with him not performing against India in India but even in Australia against India, our man 9 wickets in 5 tests :lol:
And people talk of Murali's bad record in Australia.

Actually let me admit upfront that I upgraded from liking Warne to Warne rasigan with the rise of Murali and having to bear the cross of passionately defend the classical game.

So I am not that familiar with his early Ashes exploits etc.

The most memorable match would have to be the 1999 SF.
He sent back the openers. And then got Cronje out first ball.
Then Kallis and Rhodes recovered and steadied. He came back to take out Kallis.

(Even in the preceding supersix match he broke the crucial partnership between Gibbs anbd iniya naNbar Cullinan. And got Cronje in the same over).

They were defending a small total and if you see all the ohter bowlers were being hit easily while Warne bowled 4 maidens !

(In the supersix match too he had terrific figures despite being thulped by Klusener in his last over).

Terrific performance. Always kept the pressure on, beautiful variety, just priced out every single wicket.

And 1996 WC SF against WI. He literally turned the match in Australia's favor by picking up important wickets every time he came to bowl.

Crossed feeyaar in post count :-)
