*Official* Warne vs Murali Discussion

Murali took an 8fa in India and actually owned India at home too. Warne never did anything against India, either home or away. On impact Murali's performance against India, who played spin better than anyone else, absolutely blows Warne away. Murali has 2 10fers against them and averaged 32 against India to Warne,'s 47. While both sucked in India Murali at least had one notable performance. And people vastly overstate how friendly his home conditions were. FTBs like Jayawardena and Samaraweera dominated on the same wickets.

Murali was better against Ind sure, but I was comparing how they performed in Ind. Even if you give that slightly to Murali, Warne never sucked anywhere as much as Murali did in Aus

Are you just going by averages? Warne was in a team where other bowlers in his attack were absolutely destroying India and his struggles directly led to Australia losing. In context I'd argue his series vs India in 01 was worse than any of Murali's struggles in Australia.

Warne's shocker in '01 was all the more jarring because it started so promisingly. He took 4-47 in the first innings of the first Test, and then took 6-458 for the remainder of the series!

Very similar to the 98 series actually. He took 4-85 at Chennai in the first innings but then Sachin and Sidhu really got hold of him in the second innings and he went 6-455 the rest of the series.

So the inescapable conclusion is that if Warney had gone down with a broken toenail after the first innings of the first Test on both the '98 and '01 tours, we'd consider him a far better bowler.

Warne's struggles against India cannot be trivialised to averages. He sucked against India everywhere in every format. In tests averages 44 in Inda and 62 in Australia against India. In ODIs also he averages pretty horrific.

Murali took some serious tap in India, but there were times he was running through Indian sides. On SL soil he absolutely dominated Indian batting lineups. In ODIs he has some devastating spells against India, and averages OK.
