Battle of the Test Bowling

Warne. Pity vote, really.

 

[Jono]

Poor old Jayasuriya...

Still, Muralitharan

Lol, I guess there comes the issue of whether a 2nd innings knock can be match-winning or only "match-saving" leaving it up to the bowlers to win the match. But I see your point.

 

[TT Boy]

Murali.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Murali! I was there! Well 2 of the days anyway!

Murali, wihtout a doubt..

[FaaipDeOiad]

I saw the Warne spell and not the Murali one, which was by all reports on a bit of a dustbowl, but it's still 9 wickets against a decent side. Murali for me.

[Dasa]

Patel.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Patel. Looks like Cowans very nearly lost the match until Beefy saved him by getting Thommo out.

 

[Matteh]

Patel - India managed to win because of his performance in this innings. Cowans compared to it is not all that special.
