Well something is off mate. Whether his arm or form, if Macgill can do well, you can bet your *** Warne can.
BTW, how can you not point out the fact that so many of his wickets have come from Bangladesh. Alright, they've played well here, it doesn't raise the stock for Murali's wickets I'm afraid. All this is, is a bit embarressing for Warne. Anyway, let's not make this a SKW V MM thread.
More to the point lets wait until the test and the series is over before bagging Warne.
Most likely he will end with a ton of wickets.
To be honest, I too was a little pleased with Warne getting the smack around by the Bangladeshi batsman. As HonestBharani said Warne' remarks were a little rude and uncouth - especially when he repeated them again. In very poor taste and not something that the greatest leg spinner in the game should be saying about the greatest off spinner.
Is Murali to blame for the fact that SL plays Bangladesh and Zim a lot?
Is he supposed to sit out the series, or not try his hardest to get wickets against any and all opposition? I dont know if professional cricket bowlers do that sort of thing.
Also, if we continued in that same vein we might expect Warne, if he were to be consistent, to state that Hayden should not take pride in that knock of 380 or for that matter Steve Waugh with 2 unbeaten tons against Bangladesh which really helped his average.
Getting the smackaround was a sort of ironic cricketing justice on Warney.
Still, he is too good a bowler not to come back.
As I said, he will probably take a packet against the Bangledeshi's and good luck to him.
