Not only he had bowled 40 overs also if you check out his five wicket howls it is mostly from Srilanka grounds and also against teams with out their star players.<BR/>He also really sucks when he bowls in international ground. How to approve one player as a mathc winner when he cant win match for his team in international grounds.<BR/>I met him once in a restaurant i will say one for sure he has some idea in his mind about him. I dint bother talking with him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8514201863234099212.post-90556360858807179352007-07-17T17:41:00.000-05:002007-07-17T17:41:00.000-05:00But in basketball, many people are tall! ditto wit...But in basketball, many people are tall! ditto with football.<BR/><BR/>Murali seems to be the only bowler with this defect!Karthik Sriramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14089732611796931757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8514201863234099212.post-81683490855603300672007-07-17T16:40:00.000-05:002007-07-17T16:40:00.000-05:00@Karthik: I could not agree more with you that Sha...@Karthik: I could not agree more with you that Shane Warne has done so well as part of a really good bowling crew. Murali partly owes the credit to the lackluster SL bowling attack.<BR/><BR/>But I don't agree that he should not take advantage of his birth defect. I mean, in all fairness, a basketball player is taking advantage of his "defect" of being tall. A football player is taking advantage of his "defect" of being huge etc. As long as he's not cheating, he is doing a great job as a bowler.oLihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02643676292713099492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8514201863234099212.post-84855746775909075552007-07-17T14:56:00.000-05:002007-07-17T14:56:00.000-05:00I hate this guy - not because he is successful, bu...I hate this guy - not because he is successful, but because he is using an unfair disability. Its like a batsman who says he is so fat that he will sit in front of the stumps and play and that he will never be ruled out LBW. I know my analogy sucks, but I dont like Murali being tagged a matchwinner. In all matches played in SL, this guy starts bowling in the 6th over of the match and bowls some 40 plus overs in a day and gets 4-5 wickets - pathetic.<BR/><BR/>In my books, Murali has never won matches for SL against some tough opposition as regularly as Shane Warne - Warne has humiliated SA in SA and England in England - Murali has won one series(or match?) in England when he got 16 wkts in match - Shane Warne has done that multiple times, even though he had quality bowlers bowling before him (McGrath and Co.)Karthik Sriramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14089732611796931757noreply@blogger.com
