Whos the better off spinner, Muralitharan or Laker?

[Jamee999]

Notes Dhaka's record in the first stage.

Along with Basin Reserve's star all-rounder(Kallis) being missing

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Notes Neil submitted a nun, which means Muralitharan and Samaraweera didn't play...

Also, if a team has a star all-rounder with a bowling average of 30 then they're really struggling (case in point: Dhaka - Kapil Dev )

 

[Jamee999]

Back to the original point which is that we won 3 Tests to get through to the Super 6's which the Sharjah Stinking Sharks aren't in and 2 of them were by an innings so we can win and by a lot :P

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Notes when your star batsman and best spinner is out with injury in crucial stages of the season, that helps the team's cause no end...

Also, you played Lahore, which was manager-less for huge parts of the season and helped by two inept managers...

 

[Jamee999]

Notes that We lost Waugh for 2 Tests: 1/3 of the group stage and that we played a full strength Lahore Ironmonger et al. to put us through a pressure situation but we pulled it off this was 2 weeks after an 8 wicket defeat of Cape Town to keep us in contention.

Excuse me if I haven't been around a lot in the past few weeks, I have been working very hard in my garage contrusting and expermenting the world's first time machine so I can travel back in time to watch Jim Laker at his best.

Lease talk, more inventing I say.

(I'm kidding in case you never knew)

Yes, but the full strength Lahore has failed to win any matches in the Plate. Your point?

 

[reason4passion]

One thing to be sure , Lakers do need a "Murali" !!!!

Rerembers the MSN Convo's.

(BReserve numbers first)

Me: 65-45
Tom: 75-25
Sam: 45-55

 

[Magrat Garlick]

What on earth does that mean?

 

[tooextracool]

Murali clearly has more types of delivery, but that does not necessarily make him better (Adam Holliake has as many variations as anyone, yet he was never any good); accuracy wise and in terms of flight and amount of spin they are pretty much even.

i find it hard to believe that murali has more types of delivery than laker did. as devastating as murali can be, it must be said that hes all about bowling the same off break in different places.

I dont know about Laker (havent seen him even in my dreams) but Murali has just one kind of delivery that he bowls in different places ????

exaggeration, i was referring to the fact that murali is far more limited as a bowler than people make him out to be.

 

[Waughney]

Murali by far.

Okay. accepted.

I disagree, it's surely Balaji?

Allow me to dissect your post and answer it logically and bit by painful bit

I

How can you call yourself I when most of the time you call yourself by an alpha-numeric title ? Shows inconsistency which is the hallmark of all your posts anyway.

disagree,

Who cares if you disagree ? I know what is right and the whole of me says so in agreement ! Just shows that you have made up your mind to find something wrong with anything I post. Total lack of objectivity on your part. Not surprising for someone with an alpha-neumeric pseudonym.

it's

What do you mean 'it's' ? We are not talking of inanimate objects here. These are life and blood individuals. Or maybe you dont know which *** they belong to. But then I am not surprised considering your lack of the nuances of the game in general

surely

How can you be so sure. What about the 'law of averages'. Do you know that by the law of averages you could be 100 % sure only 37% of the times ? I bet you didnt know that. Not surprising for someone who doesnt even realise that a name needs a capital alphabet to start with (besides not having neumerals in it)

Balaji?[/I]

There you go contradicting yourself.

A word ago you were 'sure' and now you are 'questioning yourself' (not sure). I think you should go back and read all my postings in detail before you come replying to one of them in isolation.

PS. Please dont answer with a cryptic half a line post

Only point is it's means it is, not belonging to it.

You are not doing your part of the job you know.

Already I am missing Richard

 

[marc71178]

Sorry was I meant to take offence at all the other parts as well and post meaningless and incorrect arguments so that you could counter with more meaningless incorrect things until it descends into insults and the same old MMvSW debate?

Because I must admit I was laughing too much to do that.

I wish I could laugh seeing all those multiple multi-quote postings, page after page after page. But I do manage a smile sometimes. a grimace at others
