Warne Vs Murali

[JJ]

I mentioned Underwood...

Qadir was better at home for reasons beyond just the conditions - unless you call the umpires the conditions... while home town decisions happened everywhere, the Pakistanis in particular were pretty special

 

[lockyno1]

Sorry mate. You did metion Underwood. Qadir is still my second best, only becuase I have not seen much of Laker. Add to that the only thing I know of Grimmett is what is in autobiographies by certain players. O'Reily is a good bowler but I like bowlers who are much slower through the air ala Warne, etc.

Underwood was quick too, from what I saw of him...

Qadir was destroyed when he toured NZ - admittedly the pitches didn't suit him, but he's not in the class of the others... Saqlain although an offie was a much better bowler

Underwood was extremely quick, around 100kmph, but as I said deserves a mention as he was the master of uncovered pitches!

First on Wiseman, I have bagged him at times but Hauritz was spinning the ball square in his test debut. That has potential written on it.

Current rules Murali is legal. As I said current rules. Go back to when he got called by Hair, correctly must I add, it was illegal under the rules. So why have they been altered?

Warne is by far the best one. The next best is Abdul Quadir (Pak) in my opinion. The best off-spinner I have seen and I have only seen bits and pieces of him is Jim Laker. If Laker was playing that many tests against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe then he would have 500 wickets too!

You fool, Hair got it WRONG. Emerson got it WRONG. Murali was cleared BEYOND DOUBT after the episodes until the DOOSRA, which like Glenn McGrath's deliveries, Brett Lee's and Jason Gillespie's deliveries was over 10 degrees.

locky fan, improve your general cricketing knowledge...you might have a point another time.

Qadir=overrated

 

[The Shire]

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.

correct anyone can get the ball to spin over there
correct on rule change
correct about surronded by crap bowlers
correct over rated CHUCKER
correct warne is a champion
you my friend are on fire and know what you are talking about

 

[harmichael_punt_]

100% correct.

I'd like to have seen how many wickets murali would have had, had he played every second series in australia with mcgrath and gillespie bowling at the other end.

 

[sanjane]

100% correct.

i bet Murali would have liked to play alongside them as well

 

[lockyno1]

The thing is that Warne plays on wickets bar the SCG that are not helpful for spin bowling! Murali for the most part plays on spin paradises! Big difference! And Murali bowls 50 overs a innings becuase the other bowlers bar Vass are rubbish!

 

[Red Bear]

you are so immature that it's not funny!

seriously, how old are you???????? are you toilet trained yet?

Lol at sanjane calling someone else immature, Mr "warnie is a bad man, a very bad man, oh wait my guy got caught for similar thing it isnt in his culture."

Murili is a prima donna, not coming to Australia cos crowds thinks he throws:roll: IT'S INTERNATIONAL CRICKET MURILI, DEAL WITH THE CROWDS! SEE WARNIE IN ENGLAND? THE CROWDS CONSTANTLY ABUSING HIM BECAUSE OF HIS MARRIAGE BREAK UP AMONG OTHER THINGS. DID HE PACK IT IN? NOPE, HE LET HIS BOWLING DO THE TALKING AND TOOK 40 FREAKEN WICKETS, AS WELL AS BEING A GOOD CONTRIBUTER WITH THE BAT. MURILI PREFFERED TO RUN AWAY AND NOT PLAY THE BEST TEAM IN THEIR AREA, LETTING NOT ONLY HIMSELF BUT HIS TEAM DOWN. I'D HATE TO BE IN A TEAM WITH HIM, GOES MISSING IN ACTION.

*Breaths deeply*

I'm sorry i had to shout, just though it might get through to him reasons why Murili isnt fit to shine warnies boots. Warnie is far from my favourite player and may be a bt of an idiot off the field(although from reports he's quite a nice guy) but he has revolutionised spin bowling and is a great bowler and great thinker on the field.

Warne's favourite ground is the Gabba. The ground he grew up on was the MCG. These are also his paradises!

Lasith Malinga is pretty good too but can't you think of it this way: Because Murali's been so great and reliable we haven't needed to mould 2 genuine other bowlers, and so have chopped and changed and also given the bits and pieces cricketer more of a run (Dharmasena, Chandana,......)

Murali's revolutionised spin bowling too...how many off-spinners make it big...EVER?

He is a great bowler too and is a great thinker.

So your point is........????????

Spell MURALI correctly first. 12 grades later, argue with me on a forum.

 

[Red Bear]

12 grades later? Piss off. Year ten at a selective school, and surely you know writing on a forum is different to how you would in an english class?

Warne, Hussey top English lists
From correspondents in London
September 27, 2005

AUSTRALIA may have lost the Ashes but Shane Warne has finished as the leading wicket-taker and Mike Hussey the top batsman in the 2005 English cricket season.

The English county season finished on the weekend completing a memorable summer for the national team, but Australia had some personal honours.

Warne took a combined 87 wickets for Hampshire and Australia, seven ahead of Sussex's Mushtaq Ahmed.

Warne's great rival Muttiah Muralitharan was the best bowler in terms of averages, with 36 wickets at 15.00 for Lancashire.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

- Same competition: BEST DOMESTIC COMPETITION IN THE WORLD
And I don't buy into the division crap either...Pretty similar playing field.
- Murali coming back from a SERIOUS shoulder injury...
- In ENGLAND, not the SUBCONTINENT
- Both players having similarly talented bowlers to work with. In fact, Murali probably had a slightly better attack around him (England reps. Cork, Anderson, Mahmood, Flintoff and England A rep Keedy)

YET:

WHO GOT A BETTER BOWLING AVERAGE...???? while Murali got 36 at 15.00 in 6 matches, Warne had 47 wickets at 24.7 in 11 (almost double the matches).

The one and only. The Great...The Magician from Kandy. MUTTIAH MURALIDARAN!

 

[El Diablo]

the piece of sh*t more like it

 

[lockyno1]

Good selctions there!

 

[sanjane]

Good selctions there!

I don't really get what you mean but thanks anyway.

 

[Twizzle]

Warne, Hussey top English lists

you sort of glanced over the most important bits sanjane

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

36 wickets at 15 is better than 47 at 24.7.
