Murali - A Champion spin bowler
This is my tribute to the holder of many records and a truely awesome cricketer, Mutthiah Muralitharan!
One of the most illustrated careers in Test Cricket ended at Galle. A true gentleman, Mutthiah Muralitharan has been the flag-bearer of SL Cricket! I've never seen Murali talk to the batsmen, abuse or even a banter! Sledging is not in his dictionary! He focusses on where to land the ball!
To get 800 wickets in Test Cricket, you need a lot of determination. Murali did possess it. When he was called "Chucker" he had it, when he was continuously no-balled he had it.
"Smiling Assassin" as they call him, Muralitharan has been a marvelous sports personality! So sad that the test cricket lost him! He played passionately for every team he played. Sri Lanka, Kent, Lancashire or Chennai Super Kings! He is a true champion bloke!
Heard team-mates of Murali's various teams say he is the most energising cricketer in the dressing room. Always funny and helping people! Remember Nasser Hussain said in an interview: "Muralitharan could turn the ball on GLASS"! Really true! His 'Doosra' turns as big as a leg spinner!
Not many know the other side of Muralitharan i.e outside Cricket. His foundation has built 2,000 houses for those who lost home in the Tsunami attacks. What a noble character and how many such characters in Cricket have acted like that?
Happy that he'll continue playing T20 Cricket, we could associate Murali with Cricket a little longer. Hope he will be there in the 2011 World Cup and if he helps SriLanka to the title, that will be icing on the cake!
Let the Murali Magic continue wherever he is.!
