Wow, difficult top choose. I am torn between Harmison and Murali.
Harmison has got 6/19 and 7/12 in uneven bounce cinditions and Murali
has got countless 7 fors and 8 fors on spin wickets. I'm going to have
to go for Murali. Please vote and comment. Thanks

Warne in spinning conditions, like Murali, is virtually unplayable!

but Warne isn't as deadly as murali, murali has had several 8 fors and 1
or 2 9 fors, warne has only had 1 8 for in his career, thats why he is
better.

Murali bowls more over per match an average than Warne so therefore he gets more time on batsmen so not because he has some 8 and 9 wicket haul means he is more greater than Warne. Murali and Warne are just spin wizards like me.

Everything about Murali is better than Warne though. His strike rate is
better, his bowling average, his economy rates, he's faced the best
batsman in the world and is probably the only spinner ever to be
successful against India. Not saying Warne isn't great, just saying
he's not as good as Murali.

Well, thats fair enough; after all, we all think different and have different opinions. I am just making a point that none is better than the other by a long way; that's all! All the above, I wouldn't want to face at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, except for hoggard. |

all of them, as they would all be difficult to play in conditions they are suited to and when they are on song. Though i would say harmy and akhtar would be scary to face in such conditions and can even injure you! |

It could only be Harmison when he gets it right, which has not been too often recently.

I'd actually say Malinga on any surface. Its a crazy action but its
almost impossible to work out where the ball is and where its going.

I will go for Harmison in those crazy conditions. I love watching it, batsman getting hits in the grill, oh it's just great especially to an Aussie batsman.
Surely enjoy the one Ponting received last Ashes in Lords.

It's warney for me, Murali will always have the stench of a cheat around him.

What? How does that work? Murali takes more wickets but Warne is more dangerous, whatever you say. |

His action is perfectly legal, I think its disgraceful how people like you still think this after dozens of tests on his action, there is nothing cheat about using your assets. A model uses her good looks, a comedian uses his gift of the gab, murali suses his deficiency. Do not call him a cheat!!! |

Considering you have the cricket knowledge of a tennis shoe, I think I will stick with my own opinions. Wether he chucks or not, he is always going to have it hanging over his head, same as Warney will be remembered as much for his off field antics as on.

I've gone for Warne on spinning conditions, he's usually really difficult to play on a normal wicket but he's totally lethal on a spinning wicket, extremely difficult to score runs off.

McGrath on a seaming wicket, he just suffocates the batsman and he either gets a wicket or it's a dot ball.

ehhhh mate, youre a pathetic little loser with your stolen insults and i havnt got in to a fight since that one with MIK. Have you noticed that since he got banned there hasnt been a single fight? Coincidence I think not. Plus why did you have to insult me there? I wasnt taking a stab at you, i just think its bad that Murali is treated badly. Now stop trying to get this thread banned. Start posting in the "batting discussion" thread. You could give us some sound advice on how to get out in 8 different ways. loser |

Because I think you are an immature little ****wit who ridicules other peoples posts simply because they differ from your own . I am also not big on brave young boy's hiding behind computer screens whilst puffing there little chests, I would dearly love to meet you in a cricket match and then behind the sheds after, just to see if your courage is quite as big as your mouth.

I would love to have seen a mention of Ntini in pacy situation, becos offlate he has been one of the best bowlers under suitable conditions, specially his very well directed bouncers can knock any batsmen out, very very fine bowler.
Similarly bond and company has almost been unplayable on tailor made synthetic pitches in NZ, so the real test for batsmen come on those places!

Please cut the crap out guys. Personal fights do nothing good for anyone. While some would rightfully say that Murali's action is legal and has been cleared by the authentic experts, why would someone should call him a chucker anymore? Just because he's brilliant enough to compete and even surpass the achievements of another great bowler, who's your countryman. This isn't a good enough reason anyway.
