The Greater Cricketer: Tendulkar vs Muralitharan

[TheJediBrah]

The greatest runscorer is actually Andy Ganteaume.

Pretty sure 15,921 is a bigger number than 112

If only Andy played as many matches as Sachin...

Migara over emphasizes this, but it is true Murali was a gun fielder for a while before he had his first set of injuries. Also, SL were the first side in the SC to take fielding and fitness seriously and IIRC, they were the first to hire an overseas physio and trainer as well. They realized (or maybe Whatmore did) the need and necessity of fitness and fielding esp. for LO cricket long before Ind or Pak did.

Burgey's salt over perfectly legal stuff notwithstanding, I still do think Sachin was probably a more important and rounded cricketer than Murali.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Chandana and Mahanama were better than anything NZ managed to field during that time.

Really???

 

[Migara]

Really???

Yes. Really.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Chandana and Mahanama were better than anything NZ managed to field during that time.

Murali's time we were s good as Australia or South Africa in the field giving run for their money.

I think you’re on the weed

 

[Migara]

And this is Jayasuriya and Chandana pulling it off in the same match, deliveries apart.
