It will be very hollow, because most cricket pundits don't accept that his action is legal.

he's been cleared numerous times under tests...therfore, he isn't chucking. ICC cleared his action, get over it.

Aussies will be upset really because their great spinner is being toppled out of the #1 spot and also they are really the only ones who complains about his action. Everyone else accepts the facts proven by the ICC.

a wicket is a wicket no matter how you look at it. once it is international, the wicket is warranted. now yes their may be a greater number of better batsmen that has been done out by Warne, but both are still tremendous bowlers that are very good at making ANY batsmen dance in the crease.

if you still can't accept it, complain to the ICC or congratulate the man his achievements.

Mural's action has been cleared only on the basis that he had taken plenty of wickets against numerous oppo prior to the point he had been tested and so they had to accomodate his action into the so called legal bowling regulations, otherwise they would say "hey your right he is a chucker sorry about all those games he skittled you in"

Some people will say Murali throws others that Warney was on drugs for a while. Look in the book that's what matters. Murali is about to become the top test wicket taker, a figure nobody will ever beat.

Yes, he is a new champion. He will take over 500 wickets and beat Murali and Warne.

So, Murali will very soon become the top test wicketer. His average, economy, strike rate, etc make him the best ever in tests and the number of 5fers and 10fers makes even Shane look ordinary.

Are you trying to wind-up forummers, County Player? As a Pakistani, I also admit that Warne has been the best bowler of spin.

Someone with your cricket background should understand this, so you must be in wind-up of Australians.

And the kink in his elbow would make a javenlin thrower proud.

(why was this same point deleted? Are we not allowed to discuss the questionable validity of his action?)

Not so. I rate Shane very highly indeed and have played against him a few times too. But the record book does not lie so go and take a look at it after the Sri Lanka-England series.

His action is arguable yes but there are those for and against as ever there will be. But there are also those who feel Shane has cheated. Look in the book as they say. Look in the book.

Murali deserves Wanre's number one spot in the wicket chart, thjey are and were both legends and once only in a life time and generation players who no one will ever match again, I do not care who says Murali is a chucker, his action has been approved by the ICC etc. and that is good enough for me, I reckon that if he had played more tests against other stronger antions then kenya and bangladesh then he still would have had more wickets then Warne, but over all he is the better bowler and I think that if he does do t in Australlia which I do not think he can do as the Aussies have dominated SL still and he only picked up 2 in that match leaving him needing six, any way if he does do it against them or any other team then he should get the respect and acknowledgement that he deserves that he is the best bowler ever to haev lived, just out playing warne.

The best 2 bowlers ever, but the figures shade it for Muttiah.
KP rates him just above Warney, too.

There was the england match on today vs sri lanka and murali has now equalled warne, but it showed that he now has 60 5 wicket hauls where as warne had about 37, with kumble taking 33, so on so on.

The figures shown on television last night for both bowlers show that only the number of wickets are very similar. All the other stats bowling seems to go by favour the SL bowler massively.
Remember also that Warne has never had to face the best batsmen either, i e Australia. That makes the SL bowler even better.

Thats a valid point in some terms, but you can t be suggesting that facing the likes of Tendulkar and Lara was never a challeng in thier hay day and dont forget that warne mentioed Tendulkar as his biggest challenge with lara second, even McGrath said the same but with the above two batsmen the other way so lara was his first hardest challenge. But I do see where you are coming from, I mean warne never went against Sir Bradman etc.

Nor did Murali,plus unlike Warne, Murali regulary took cheap easy cheap easy wickets against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe,no skill in that.


Charlie Chaplin was almost as great as me.

From that opinion obviously you care as well, but I say that the stats reflect the truth and that is that murali was the better man, even Warne himself tipped him to go over 1000 wickets before retiring.
