Viv better. More complete as a bat than Murali as a bowler and much better away.

Viv better.
Murali greater.
Murali greater.

as the resident Viv hater, even I would say the reversal of that is probably far more accurate.

Viv both better and greater

Murali both better and greater.

He isn't. He is a more flawed bowler.

He is. He is also a more impactful bowler.
Not sure if Viv's bowling record is flawless though, to each their own.

Lol no.
Looking at their run/wicket tally is probably not the most accurate way of assessing greatness.

8540>800

800 wickets is probably equivalent to more runs than SRT.
DrWolverine

No one is breaking 800 EVER

An English spinner I presume. Similar to Anderson vs McGrath.

So a Warne level English spinner

Only by virtue of his home record.

A total lie. Murali was ATG in England, South Africa, New Zealand, Pakistan and WI.

I’m sure nobody initially thought Anderson would get that many wickets either
