MURALI, FAR GREATER THAN WARNE

MURALI, FAR GREATER THAN WARNE

Muralidaran was a far greater bowler than Shane Warne. His incredibly superior record speaks for that. He is the greatest bowler in history, one whom Steve Waugh called the Bradman among bowlers. Truly speaking, since the days of Sobers he has been the greatest cricketer that the world has seen. I would rate him as the third greatest cricketer of all time, behind just Sobers and Bradman. They would be placed in order of cricketing merit and career performance on an integrated basis thus :

1. Garfield Sobers 

2. Donald Bradman 

3. Muttiah Muralidaran
