Cricketers laud Muttiah Muralitharan's prolific performance
The most prolific bowler international cricket has ever seen, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750.
Despite his controversies with Australian cricket over his suspected bowling action, the magical spinner has been lauded by former and playing cricketers. Indian star off-spinner Harbhajan Singh has called him unreachable in test cricket. He said that no one can touch his almost 800 test wickets
“No one can touch Muralitharan’s record in Tests,” said the Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh.
The comments from the Turbanator came after Murali acclaimed him saying “only Harbhajan can match his record in Test cricket”. He showed his gratitude towards Sri Lankan spin wizard saying it was very kind of the distinguished spinner for making such a big comment about him. The spinner who has made 83 Tests so far taking 355 wickets said that he does not believe that it would ever be possible for any bowler to reach the around 800-wickets mark in test cricket set by the Murali. Singh said that Murali was a bowler of his own kind nobody can match his paranormal records.
Waqar Younis, former Pakistani fast bowler currently coaching his national side also acknowledged Murali tremendous bowling efforts.
"I don't know how many wickets he's got. Is it a million? The world is going to miss him. He's been superb over the past two decades and unplayable -- it doesn't matter where he plays," said Waqar Younis reckoned as one of the best pace attacker of his generation.
Waqar has been playing against the magical spinner and lauded him saying that the leaving spinner is a smart cricketer and a sheer talent international cricket ever had. Congratulating Murali for his superb international career as a test as well as one day cricketer Waqar wished Murali best of luck in his life.
Murali has never had an easy relationship with cricket Australia but with the Sri Lankan spin wizard leaving the test cricket, the attitude of Australian cricket seems to have softened as Australia’s T20 captain Michael Clarke has paid tribute to him after the spinner revealed his intention of retiring from Test cricket after Gale test. Clarke has been reported appreciating his services to the world of cricket.
"I guess on behalf of all Australia cricketers, and all Australian fans who've had the opportunity to watch him, congratulations are well and truly deserved. He's been an amazing ambassador for Sri Lankan cricket and what a talent, what a career. I really hope he gets those eight wickets".
The top order Australian batsman said that the opinion of people may vary regarding his bowling action but many people respect him from the core of their heart as he was an amazing sports ambassador of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758.
Despite the Australian umpiring lobby denying Murali’s achievements, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746. He said that Murali has performed so tremendously throughout his career that he is compelled to compare his (Murali) experience with Shane Warne; the greatest bowler of his time.
Australian T20 skipper said that the Lankan spinner is an astounding cricketer and it has always been tough to face the swings of Murali so he was “pleased” that he would not face him (Murali) again in test cricket and added that lots of other batsmen around the world would be delighted that they would not face the Lankan danger man.
