Murali`s greatest hits of the noughties
Wednesday, 7 July 2010 - 10:36 PM SL Time
|
Earlier this year, a 60-strong panel of experts took part in a poll to select Cricinfo`s Cricketer of the 2000s. Ricky Ponting`s list of accomplishments as leader of the dominant Test and ODI team of the era justifiably earned him the top spot.
If separate prizes were awarded for each of the game`s formats, however, I would have given the trophy for champion Test cricketer to Muttiah Muralitharan. The Milestone Man took one and a half times as many wickets as Makhaya Ntini, the next highest wicket-taker in the Noughties, at a McGrath-like average and Waqar-esque strike rate. As Cricinfo pointed out, he remains top of the pile even if cheap wickets taken against Zimbabwe* and Bangladesh are excluded. His astonishing 20 ten-wicket hauls in 84 matches include at least one against every Test-playing nation. He won more Man-of-the-Match and Man-of-the-Series awards than any other player and propelled Sri Lanka from close to the bottom of the Test rankings to within a series win of top spot. What`s more, he achieved all this in the `Age of the Bat.` If 55 is the new 50 as far as batting averages are concerned, just how good is a bowling average of 23.48 against the top eight teams? To my mind, Murali was the decade`s greatest match-winner by some distance, as well as its greatest joy-giver.

Sri lankan Cricket board should complain to ICC and bring these ACB bastards to light
------------
Emerson said he remained angry at being cold-shouldered by Australian authorities following his call.
He said he was urged to no-ball Muralidaran by a senior Australian official, who then abandoned him once he had made the call.
`I was called to a meeting with him and, knowing that I had called some other players, he told me I had set standards in certain areas which I should uphold in Adelaide.

WEEKEND HUMOUR

TWO Australian businessmen in Brisbane were sitting down for a break in their soon-to-be new store.
As yet, the store wasn`t ready, with no stock and only a few shelves set up.
One said to the other, `I bet any minute now some idiot tourist is going to walk by, put his face to the window, and ask what we`re selling.
No sooner were the words out of his mouth when, sure enough, a curious Chinese tourist walked to the window, had a peek, and in a thick Chinese accent asked `You sell what?`
