Warne Vs Murali

[JJ]

Murali is an amzing bowler - end of story

Zimbabwe have been decent for much of his career, and for the record Warne has been abysmal against India...

Could debate who's better endlessly, both are amazing to watch - if Aussies don't want to watch Murali - fine, their loss

 

[Tom Shines]

Warne easily.
Sri Lanka play Bangers and Zimbabwe every year for a start...

 

[Tom Shines]

Murali had taken 80 wickets (10 tests) so far this calander year

with one test to play vs NZ

Is this a record for a bowler in a calender year?

No, wasn't Warne pushing 100 last year?

 

[hineyrulz]

No, wasn't Warne pushing 100 last year?

i think he took 96 from memory.

 

[Twizzle]

Murali's average vs all countries except Bangladesh and Zimbabwe is 23.76, still better than Warne's.

so it should be

last time we played in Sri Lanka all the wickets were especially prepared for him, by removing all the grass with wire brushs

doesn't matter who your opposition is in those circumstances

make Vaas's record all that more impressive

Murali's average away from home is 25.4, still slightly better than Warne's career average.

Anything else, anyone?

Im not trying to say that Murali's better, but their is a struck match between them.

Murali owns the pommy batsman,just like Warney

Warne is a bowler

Murali's a good dart player though

um,

yeah,

Warne had to compete with McGrath for a lot of his wickets

Im not trying to say that Murali's better, but their is a struck match between them.

yeah, pretty much agree with that Tommy

unfortunately Murali will be judged on other aspects of his game and people will form their opinion on that basis

 

[El Diablo]

Murali's a good dart player though

and a useful baseball pitcher

 

[douglasallen91]

Warne didn't require the corrupt ICC to change the rules to make his deliveries legitimate, nor did he spend his entire career in the spinners paradise that is the sub-continent, nor was he surrounded by crap bowlers allowing him to take all the wickets.

Murali is an overrated chucker. Warne is a true champion.

warny should be sitting with ahkter and asif (when the icc boots them out) bloody drug cheat.

title should be drug cheat vs chucker.

well Fleming the pot head should be there too

since you're a stickler for the rules, Flem never tested positive and it was well before there were concerns...

'He can't afford any more 80-over Tests' - Jenner

Warne faces risk of burnout

Shane Warne is in serious danger of aggravating his old injuries if he continues bowling prolonged spells against England, according to his mentor Terry Jenner. Warne bowled 85 overs in the Adelaide Test match and Jenner believes at 37, Warne's career could be over sooner than expected unless his workload is reduced.

"Shane's got a bigger heart than Phar Lap, but if he keeps bowling 80 overs a Test, I don't see him going on until 40," Jenner told The Sunday Telegraph. "Shane can't keep bowling those overs or the next thing he will have a recurrence of an injury. It's common sense to say he needs some Test matches where he does a little, but not a lot.

"Knowing Shane, he will take any amount of bowling he can get. But if he's going to play until he's 40, he can't afford any more of these 80-over Tests. That's too much for anyone. I'm worried about his workload in Perth. If he bowls another 80 overs, you don't know what impact that would have.

Warne's Adelaide effort, which included 53 overs in the first innings and 32 in the second, was his fourth-highest tally in his 142 Tests. His greatest was against South Africa in Cape Town in 2002, when he sent down 98 overs in a Man-of-the-Match performance. But Jenner said Warne should not have to be the team's workhorse for ever.

"I just hope for Australia's and Shane's sake he doesn't have to be used so frequently," he said. "What he did in Adelaide was a testament to his courage and stamina. He had to be hurting. It was a lot of overs for anyone to bowl, let alone a 37-year-old.

"People need to be aware he has had two shoulder operations and two operations on his spinning finger. He's not as robust or flexible as he once was, but he's put that aside to try to win Tests for Australia. Common sense must prevail. He cannot possibly remain so involved in, and change the course of, every Test he plays."
