*Official* Warne vs Murali Discussion

[Migara]

Sure Murali was excellent in other countries but Warne succeeded there too (WI mostly failed cas of playing injured in 99). I concede doing well against India at home as a good point.

We just differ on the importance of not performing in Aus. At least acknowledge it's a hole.

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,

Um it's not just success against India otherwise I would put Saqlain ahead of both of them.

Saqlain had one successful series and one disastrous one against India.

You mean one bad test at home, and one actually great series in India, which is more than either Murali or Warne. Plus awesome against them in ODIs since that matters to you.
