http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DPMD-Jayawardene-c1397: Muralitharan was an asset for Sri Lanka – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/M-Muralitharan-c1864 is going to affect the team’s strength.
The 34-year-old, Jayawardene, added that the way Muralitharan had been winning matches for Sri Lanka single handedly was phenomenal. Sri Lanka’s former skipper was talking to media ahead of upcoming series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 to express his views over expertises
of the former off-spinner.
“Muralithran took 800 Test wickets, the most by any bowler in the world, so you know that with him he’s going to create something for you, even in tough situations. He’s a magician, and without him it’s a big hole to fill.” He told the Express Tribune.
The spin wizard, who took retirement from international cricket after the recently concluded ODI World Cup heald in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750, was one of the greatest spin bowlers of the game. Starting his career in 1992, he didn’t take much time to become a regular in the
Sri Lankan line up. He also helped his team to countless victories in all formats of the game with his magical displays with the ball.
Muralithran, who had a hyperextension in the arm which enabled him to be able to produce unbelievable deliveries, his greatest achievement was helping the Sri Lankan cricket team to win the World Cup, in 1996, taking 7 wickets in the tournament. He also
helped his team to a famous victory in Oval test by claiming 16 wickets in the game.
The inclusion of the legendary spinner in the Sri Lankan squad had always been a source of comfort to Sri lankan captains over the years. Grabbing 800th wicket in the longer version of the game was the biggest moment of Muralithran’s great career
– who became the first ever bowler to do so.
The Kandy-born spinner served his country in 133 Test matches, 350 One Day Internationals, and 12 Twenty20s. He finished his career with more than 1300 hundred international wickets to his name, the highest by any player.
