Better than all the rest?

Yeah, that's right, I knick headlines from dodgy Tina Turner hits. Anyway, there was an interesting little article about Murali over on cricinfo to which I would like to draw your attention forthwith (I'm learning German at the moment and frankly, it's creating havoc with my English). Now, I, more than most perhaps, know that one day cricket bears little resemblance to real cricket (and yes, I use the value laden adjective deliberately), but it is quite remarkable, methinks, that a spinner should have the best record in one day cricket. Warne or Murali? Who would you choose? I'd definitely go for the former, if only 'cause it would mean that the dressing room would be a smoke free zone, and there might be some pies left by lunch time (oh dear).
So an Australian has had a go at Ponting about his team's baiting of umpires. I don't know. They looked pretty docile over here during the Ashes, especially when compared with previous Australian teams, such as those lead by Waugh, Border, etc. Ian Chappell's lot make the current bunch look like pansies (Australian vernacular, don't you know). I like a bit of aggro anyway. It's good to watch, to a degree of course. Andre Nel is very boring.
