Exactly the kind of arrogance you expect from an Aussie sports fan. I can write huge essays supporting Murali's action but you just need to go and read the reports of your own labs to see if his action is legal or not. BTW. Have a look at the records to see the averages of wickets taken AGE MATCHES PLAYED WICKETS Warne 37 143 699 Murali 34 110 674 I still believe that Warne was the best leg-spinner ever and Murali was the best off-spinner ever but best spinner ever... well I can't pick one.

You are standing on what, to claim him a Chucker
My own eye sight. There is no doubt he's a good bowler and he has changed his action a lot as a result of being caught out cheating.

He is definitely the best bowler ever, IMO. I would rate him far higher than Murali because Murali has taken most of his wickets on spin-friendly subcontinent pitches, while Warne has had a lot of success pretty much everywhere, including Australian wickets where spinners would normally be crucified. I'll miss Warne. :( [edit]I seem to have sparked off the most bizarre flame war in CP history. :laugh: [/edit] -- modified at 3:10 Thursday 21st December, 2006

almost everywhere(everyone knows the exception).

you remember the number of wickets Kumble got on his last Australian tour? If Warne is the greatest spinner ever, then Kumble is the most under rated player ever. Kumble Wickets per match = 538/111=4.85 Warne Wickets per match = 699/143=4.88 Also Warne has more than half of his wickets(419)against England(186), South Africa(130) and NZ(103), who have been poor players of spin. I will miss McGrath more then Warne.

I'm an Aussie sports fan and I would not describe myself or expect you to describe me as an arrogant one. Stop stereotyping. This is not the sort of behaviour I expect from Pakistani sport fans.

Yes we know... :) but despite that no doubt about that he is one of the greatest bowler..

Not exactly agree with this... this is correct that he has not got the spotlight as warne and murli but he is also labeled as one of the most destructive bowler...

Phucking 5 for that. Truer words have never been typed, except maybe by me when having this arguement many a time in the Soapbox.

I put that in a footnote in the original post myself, but deleted it.

i think you missed murali Murali Wickets per match = 674/110=6.12

oh, everyone knows that already. I wanted to highlight that Kumble is in the same league, and to even say that Warne is The greatest legspinner, would not be fair. one of the greatest spinners seems fair enough for all Warne, Murli and Kumble.

Wow, this is a bizarre flame war. :laugh: I can't believe you got 2 votes of 1 each for this. :sigh:

I'd say he's the best spinner ever. I'd still rate Wasim Akram as the best bowler ever.
:Gong: 歡迎光臨 吐 西批 :Gong:

Akram the greatest fast bowler ever and master of reveres swinging. I like him more than Murali.. But you know that this great man, Akram himself, claim that Murali is better than him..
