Murali – more dominating than Bradman

RICHARD BOOCK - Sunday Star Times:

If Murali manages to realise the 1000-wicket dream or even get close to it,
surely he'll then deserve to be remembered as the game's greatest player; more
dominating than The Don or W.G., more influential than Sobers or the three Ws,
and a much bigger match-winner than any of the 80s all-rounders Ian Botham,
Imran Khan, Richard Hadlee or Kapil Dev.

He also asks us to enjoy him as he is

above all else, he is the once-in-a-100-year flood, the biggest phenomenon to
hit the game since Bradman wandered in from the sticks in 1928, and maybe the
biggest ever.


Readers, I leave the floor to you with my assurance that expletives will not be expunged.
