I wonder if any of his teammates or opponents were actually plumbers when they weren’t cricketing.

What kind of response is that? Yeah he got results that doesn't mean he had no weaknesses in his game vs Warne. I gave an actual issue Murali had and backed it up with examples. If you are too lazy to address it then just say so and pretend Murali was perfect.
Sure let's look at how he did in Australia and India then the strongest lineups. Oh yeah he was crap. But by all means just focus on overall wickets to make you feel better.
Sorry but I'm not ranking Murali over Warne or Hadlee over McGrath based on WPI.

probably the most debateable topic in Cricket where it can go either way, do think Warne has a clear edge as a Cricketer though

Yes same here after being a Murali supporter for a long time.

Think I've always had Warne as the GOAT spinner and a lock in my AT XI

His Aus record is too big a gap to ignore.
And after listening to a lot of testimony and rewatching spells, I just think Warne was more astute a reader of the game and mentally stronger, while Murali was very reliant on his variations being hard to read.
They are close though. Closer then Tendulkar and Lara

Even if it is true, he was a statistical outlier. No one has been lightyears ahead of his peers like Bradman before or after him.

Lara is better than Sachin by a close yet clear margin.
Murali is EASILY a better spinner than Warne. Like half a level above him.
Idiots who never watch a single game and just come here to spout biased rubbish cant see these facts though.

He's serious, and he's right.

Its as serious as salty's posts.
BTW, I do pick Warne over Murali in my ATG XI as I value his extra batting and slip catching and will bat him at 8.

McGrath will be the only guy who can’t bat
