Oh yeah, by a margin. I'm just trying to think why it might be thought otherwise, N00fers man-crush excepted.

I never realised Murali averaged 75 with the ball in Australia over a 12 year period, including the golden era viriya refers to. In hindsight I have to agree - no one else being considered as an ATG or even in a league of their own as a bowler has consistently performed so poorly over the entire length of his career in one country. He's truly in a league of his own.

I knew he flopped here, I didn't realise he climbed the Eiffel Tower, spread his arms to the adoring crowd and performed the mother of all belly flops into a six inch deep inflatable pool. His best bowling here was for the ICC XI too. His average for SL here is 106!!!!!! I know he only played five matches in total here, but it's not like he's had one **** series in a country and never come back. That's terrible. Under 10s terrible. Australia would rather have faced Murali than Eddie Hemmings here. Just think about that.

Uh.. he played all of 5 tests in Australia, with 2 tests near his debut. Anyway, this is stuff that has been talked about forever so I'll lay it to rest.

Did you know Sobers averaged 15 in NZ? Obviously a **** overrated player.

Mate, if you want to troll Burgey, you do it like this:

Ravi Ashwin averages more with the bat in the West Indies than Allan Border. Has more centuries too.

Much better from ***** here.

Of course, the comparison is silly, because Allan Border is incomparable.

Can't get into his own nation's ATXI, can't out-bat Ravi Ashwin, and can't even hold down his own nickname.

Truly incomparable.

The fact that Burgey has to go out if his way to call him TOTAB over and over again is a failure. We don't call de Villiers the one true AB or any **** like that. He's just called AB. Burgey and Border have lost.

Look mate, even if you were right (and you're not of course), according to the owner of the interwebz leading cricketing statistics web site, that sort of hole in his record would still make him Grand Master and a level above everyone else.

You dislike some Indian cricketers too, but that doesn't mean you don't have a bias in general.

Richard said things like 'Nick Knight is a better ODI batsman than Adam Gilchrist', 'Atherton was a better opener than Hayden' - if those don't give any hint of Nationality-based bias then I don't know what does

You know you can just ask weldone to not reply to you and he'll oblige?

Or atleast he says he will. Either way, it's worth a shot.
