If we aren't allowed to boo and heckle the opposition (or for that matter, clowns like Shane Warne), then there is very little pleasure to be gotten from actually wasting an arvo or a week at the cricket. Might as well stay home and watch it on the TV with a few cold ones. To be honest, I have always found cricket a rather dull sport.

Tests- 563 - 21.64 Vaas - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaminda_Vaas ODI - 383 - 26.78. Tests- 319- 29.21 McDermott - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_McDermott ODI- 203 - 24.71.

Tests- 231 - 31.60 I would take any of the Aussies ahead of Vaas. McGrath – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_McGrath ODI- 381 – 22.02(dont know his runs an over rate, but I think it is very small). Tests- 563 – 21.64

He's a very good bowler, and the man who *should* hold the title of "Sri Lanka's Best". His one-day record in particular is second-to-none, and that includes bowlers like Akram and McGrath. He is pretty damn good in tests too. But like you said, Murali takes more wickets because fast bowlers can't bowl 50 overs a day.

You also forgot to mention that Murali bowls from one end all day with little support from the other. Chaminda Vaas, whilst being a good bowler, is surely no Glenn McGrath, Jason Gillepsie, Brett Lee, Michael Kasperwicz or Craig McDermott. So Murali is somewhat destined to take the wickets. Sri Lanka were a much better team before Murali started playing, and I think that they will be better once that he retires. Murali will always have a shadow over his career because, if he was the champion that his record suggests, Sri Lanka would have been one of the great teams of all time.

Even putting McGrath in your sentence names you as a moron. He has zero bend, unlike Lee who does occasionally bend for his bouncer. Murali is a cheat. You fail at godwining.

And, FFS, he bends his arm less playing the guitar than Murali does with his stock ball. Thankfully, most of Brett Lee’s arm bending occurs off the field of play.

'It's just my bent arm, dealer...' 'Have another one, on the house!' How long do you think Murali would last at a casino?

‘It’s just my bent arm, dealer…’
