Another Round of Team Trades

He gets more wickets, not because he is lethal, just because he bowls a lot.

And yeah, Murali was a bit poor early on, but what's the point? Are you gonna ignore his stats later on?
Lol Murali averages 6 runs lower than Jayasuriya at Home. Over 73 matches and 18 years...... Where credit is due, Prabhath's WPM is extremely commendable, but comparing him with Murali!??? GTFOH

Capt Luffy said no one comes close to Murali even at home pitches which is absolutely wrong,
as prabhath Jayasuriya is way more lethal (in terms of wpm) than Murali after the same number of matches Jayasuriya has played till now.
Ashwin ~Murali @ home. If ash was half good away would have suppressed warne

Imran, player to player wise is better than Murali. He would walk in to any team as a starting candidate. However I don't think he would add much to captaincy over Jayawardane or Sangakkara. In addition, Imran provides what SL lacks. quality express bowling. SL had many spinners, 4 - 5 with similar quality to Herath. Herath and Diluwan Perera could easily replace Murali at least on home turf. See now with Imran, we could play five bowlers. On the other hand if you ask 80s WI the question, they would kill for Murali over any player, including Viv or Marshall, because that is what they lacked.
Mate Marshall is bradman of fast bowlers. He was spearhead of invincible wi attack. No way they would exchange him with Murali

I love Marshall to death but no he's not the Bradman of pace, no one is. But agreed no specialist bowler spin or otherwise is replacing him in the WI team.

Oh Wi would. They can easily field Garner, Holding and Croft. Then they had Ambrose. There is no one in Wi history as giod as Murali as a spinner. They'd even give up Sobers for him.

Once again, it is not only how good is the player (Sorbers and Marshall are better players), it is also how much of commodity of that quality of players would be the question. It is just like Murali is a better bowler than Steyn, Ambrose, Donald or Wasim, but since SL has no one with that quality they are extremely valuable.

A WI team sans Marshall, but with Murali will annhiliate way more teams.
