Why do Aussies hate murili?

[GotSpin]

He has a crap action.

 

[PhoenixFire]

I know why the English do....something about a game at the Oval a few years back...

I really like him actually, seems like a really nice bloke, and I don't think he chucks.

 

[Langeveldt]

I don't hate the guy, and I admire what he has to put up with and what he has come through.. Still doesn't change the fact I resent him playing professional cricket though

 

[Stumped]

24 wickets against Bangladesh, 26 against Zimbabwe. So only 624 against other teams.

Is that right? I'm sure on SSN the other day when they took those away, Warne was about 150 ahead.

According to StatsGuru on CricInfo it's 24 and 26 against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe respectively. But that could be wrong.

StatsGuru being wrong would shake my confidence in the world though.

Same here, whereas SSN being wrong would, well, it's just another day innit

Are you sure that isn't the ODI filter?

 

[_Ed_]

Unless he has 674 ODI wickets, yes, I'm sure.

 

[PhoenixFire]

No, I was just sure that he has more than 20 odd wickets against the Banglas.

 

[GIMH]

Statsguru question that will probably make me sound dumb, but how do you make it so you filter out two teams?

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

It's 87 wickets against Zimbabwe and 50 against Bangladesh. Not sure where the 20s numbers came from. Zimbabwe is his third most prolific nation in terms of wickets, after South Africa and England, and Bangaldesh is 10th, behind Australia.

Those numbers aren't from ODIs either, where he has 43 against Zimbabwe and 19 against Bangladesh.

 

[GIMH]

That's what SSN said - but statsguru is saying in the 20s for both

 

[pasag]

I like him and if there is one guy that will overtake Warne, I'm glad it could be him.

Oh dear, how embarrassing. I was looking at the Highest Score column by mistake.

I REALLY shouldn't post on here when I come home from a long shift at work. Will I ever learn?

Apologies. Still, he's still taken a huge number of wickets against other teams, more than 500 which still has him in the top 5 wicket-takers in history.

Owned.

Turns out I was doing the same thing.


Mad.

Still, can anyone answer my earlier question, how can you filter out two teams? Or can't you?

[Legga]

I don't think we hate him.

We just dislike him because we have first hand knowledge what a proper spin bowler is.(unlike most sad countries)

Or it might be the fact that he is a cheat who gets the laws of cricket changed for his personal benefit.
