    ODIs : Murali vs Saqlain

    Yes it seems. They have not divulged the methodology. If a bowler performs well against team with high rank bats, the rise of the rating would be high. Then doing poor against trash sides will hurt as well.

    Kapil Dev vs Kumar Sangakkara

    Kapil was neither ATG with bat or ball in Tests. Botham was for a brief period, but then became trash. Sobers, Imran, Hadlee and Kallis kept at least one of their skills ATG throughout their career. So were Gilchrist and Sangakkara.

    Those rankings are way better than partisan / nationalistic rants that is a pain on grey matter

    ODIs : Murali vs Saqlain

    Murali had a peak between 2001 - 2005 where he was better than Saqlain at his peak. Saqlain's top ICC rating is 805. For Murali it is 913. That is 2001 to 2005, Murali took 182 wickets in 106 matches at 17.96. if you Include 2006 then 218 at 20.2 That is basically as about 90% of Saqlain's career

    *Official* Warne vs Murali Discussion

    Actually for a spinner, it is success against India. Warne home, away or neutral, Test or ODI, failed against India. There is no denying it,

    Top 10 best fielders in the history of test cricket?

    Nah, not that easy. Jondy was a semi-specialist fielder. He fielded in few positions. If you take all round fielding Symonds, harper and Mahanama are right up there. if you take specialist fielding Eknath Solkar probably is better than Jonty in their preferred position of fielding.

    Kapil Dev vs Kumar Sangakkara

    Sangakkara as a specialist bat is more valuable than Kapil dev the all rounder. Sangakkara as a part time wicket keep and a batsman also is way ahed of Kapil. As an all rounder he is in Sobers, Kallis, Imran, Gilchrist stratum.

    Just How Good Was Barry Richards?

    Argument is good. But, then you have to put them on Indian and Pakistani soil with spinners bowling at them. And many many many south africans have just capitulated against spin.

    *Official* Warne vs Murali Discussion

    What would Warne and Murali would have done against India in neutral conditions is up to debate. However their ODI record against them would give a glimpse. Warne Murali This is with definite lack of Warne bowling to Sehwag.

    *Official* Warne vs Murali Discussion

    Yes. When Murali not played they gave a one that had bit of support. Upul Chandana ended up picking six.

    *Official* Warne vs Murali Discussion

    Murali has almost similar figures in SAF despite lacking support.

    *Official* Warne vs Murali Discussion

    Warne in Sheffield Shied against first class bats averaged 35. Now take that in to context.

    *Official* Warne vs Murali Discussion

    This is pushing it. Indian spinners were equally bad in SL as were SL spinners in India. It was basically down to the type of ball they used. On other hand Murali never played in SCG other than for that supertest, where Boucher was a disgrace keeping to him and still did well. Sangakkara in...

    Sri Lankan Cricket Updates

    I will be over the moon if we end up with 1-1. Saffers are going to serve some filthy green seamers like they did against India. It will be SAF bowlers against our batsmen. We have claims to be one of the best batting units in tests.

    Sri Lankan Cricket Updates

    I am not sure Nishan Peiris is useful. He's good on low slow Sri Lankan filth. Chamindu Wickramasinghe should have got the nod over him. We are only going to play Jayasuriya. Mendis and DDS are more than handy spinners. I am skeptical even Jayasuriya would be needed. All seam attack may be the...

    The Fastest Bowler ever?

    Actually by hitting the bails ot loses kinetic energy to friction and sound at least, and wee bit to movement of the bail.

    The Fastest Bowler ever?

    This is just speculation. There was a great urban myth that Thommo had bowled a ball to carry over the boundary without bouncing hence he was fater than any one. Then Jofra Archer did it with 89mph on the clock. There is massive hyping up going on.

    The Fastest Bowler ever?

    Oh he was as quick as Donald in 93 tour to SL. Zahid was fastest in his previous tor to NZ for A tour. Then developed stress fractures, bowled with it for 12 months and then broke down.
