Murali averages 24 against Warne's 25.52 when Bang Zim stats are excluded. That's awesome.

But doesn't this just help the Warne argument? Because the fact that the stats are that close, we have to put more weight on the what kind of bowlers they were rather than just statsguru.

btw, i chose warne not for the stats. murali has way better stats than warne anyway. i am personally a fan of warne's bowling so i am choosing him. and i am not sure of murali's action. i have met his in-laws once in a function. they are from the same city as me. they are such superb people and i believe murali himself is a great guy. we have a common friend. wish i liked his bowling action. unfortunately, it looks dubious to me.

1.5 is rather a very good difference in the lower 20s just like perhaps a 3 point differential in the higher 20s.
Also, performing much better against the minnows, only puts Murali further ahead of Warney.

Malar Hospitals MD right? Smashing blokes them. And unfortunately no matter how many bio-tests and stuff is done, cynics will always remain.

Far out, put you off ignore to give you another go and you post this crap. Watch some cricket first and then go to the Murali vs Warne thread if you want to persue trolling about this issue.

Why is that you find the argument Murali > Warne, as true as it is, to be trolling?
Reeking bias is the only answer I can find.

1) I don't have a problem if you believe Murali to be a better bowler than Warne.

Reeking bias is the only answer I can find.
2) I do have a problem with you claiming Murali is better than Warne solely because of some averages.
3) You haven't been here long, have no credability and yet continue to state your opinions as facts in every thread on CricketWeb.
4) Murali vs Warne has been done to death and then some.
5) If you have to continue it, please post in the relevant thread.

Don't you think the second point directly contradicts the first point? And when did I ever say stats are the ONLY reason why I regard Murali > Warne?
Almost 1 year. However still not come across threads which state only such and such posters are allowed to post in such threads. Sorry if I missed the rules, could you pls link?
Oops. Please go and read my first post in this thread. The thread creator himself acknowledged that this thread was indeed going to become essentially Warne Vs Murali. Otherwise why this thread? Blame the thread-creator then. Not me.
I love Murali just because I like him. I like the way he mixes his variations etc. Don't get me wrong, I am a hardcore fan of Warne as well. But Murali a bit ahead of Warne.

It is no bait. But if NNanden indulges in some meaningful argument with supporting evidence, I am only glad to enter into a constructive discussion with him.

1) No, no I don't. If you can't understand what I'm trying to say there, I won't bother. I made that assumption based on your posts so far in this thread and on practically all your other posts on opinions on cricketers on CW. But please, tell me why then.
2) Haha, pathetic.
3) It doesn't have to go down that path and if it does, it should really be closed imo.
4) "I love Murali just because I like him." K, thanks for clearing that up.

Yes, but then this is even more offset by the fact that Murali played half his tests at home on dustbowls designed for him whereas Warne played half his tests at home where only 1 pitch aided him and the rest were better suited for pace.
Nate

Yes, it is. It would be fantastic for everyone on here if you posted with a hint of maturity.

Lol, Did I mean that? No. You are a top poster, but I was surprised by your starting of this thread considering you would have anticipated it to be another Warne-Murali showdown....
Ikki

And what was he supposed to do?

Not really. Murali has a better average in the subcontinent as compared to Warne, although their averages in SL are very similar and nothing to suggest Warne was better than Murali in conditions aiding them.
