You only need to watch Brian Lara's comparison of these two bowlers to know who the better one is. I enjoy watching them both, and they are the two greatest that ever lived, but one tops the other :)
-
it doesnt matter that murali got more wickets. warne managed to get 708 wickets even with other major wicket takers in the aus team like mcgrath, brett lee, gillespie and stuart clarke where as murali had only vaas to compete with who was nothing special.
-
3. Batting and fielding. Murali couldnt hold a bat to save his life and could not catch a cold. Warne scored over 3000 runs and had a high score of 99, he also scored two first class centuries.
4. Warne mastered the art of leg spin, which is much much harder then off spin.
5. Suspension and injury. Warne had two big stints on the side line, all in this time murali was managing to take wickets

@123AsimKhan Warne is better then murali. Let me explain how:
1. Warne took 708 wickets playing with quality bowlers like mcgrath, lee, gillespie, stuart clarke where as murali was the only wicket taker in the whole sri lankan team, no disrespect to vaas.
2. murali played the majority of his cricket in the sub continent, a spinners paradise, where as warne played mostly in fast bowler friendly environments.

Just 1 Dislike!!. Probably was by Michael Vaughan!!! :-P

@Imrankniazi and thats why warne was so damn good, that drift into the right hander then the sharp spin away. that bite he got from the surface. its true, there are people who can rip a leggie, but to be consistent is very difficult. there are a few like that at my club. as i said, it requires a knack. you can bowl one great delivery, but it's usually a fluke until proven otherwise. you're right, it's difficult for batsman to pick it up. thats why those variation should be used sparingly.
-
@RoheeeeCricket That's a fair assessment. Leg-spin is a more elusive art. A lot of blokes I know can turn the leg-spinner well, but getting good drift (with sufficient revs), zip and bounce off the pitch is rather rare. When someone can do it with Warnesque control, that is mind-boggling.
I am also not so sure if the wrist-spinning off-spinner or the carrom-ball is that easy to spot. Lance Gibbs had one that he used to bowl with one finger over the seam and it used to jump up awkwardly!
-
@Imrankniazi i agree with you about both arts being great. unfortunately, the art of spin bowling as a whole has been disarmed into an ugly, defensive art by captains and coaches. the only hope right now is swann, whose flair and agresiveness has captivated me. my opinion however, is that off-spin bowling, whatever branch of it may be, is much easier to grasp than leg spin bowling. as you said, leg spin is a specific art. it requires a special knack. no such knack is needed to bowl off spin.
-
@RoheeeeCricket "plus leg spins is harder to bowl compared to offies."
It's not that simple. IMHO, you are selling the art of off-spin short. Also let's not forget that finger-spinners, wrist-spinners and knuckle-spinners (carrom-bowlers like Mendis) are vastly different types of the off-spinners. It's a very broad umbrella, if you ask me, and I wouldn't compare it to something as specific as leg-spin. Both are great arts, in their own right.
-
warne was more magical to watch. plus leg spins is harder to bowl compared to offies. thats why there are lots of part time offies, coz its easy to bowl, easy to spin the ball.
what warne did was amazing. but kudos to murali, he is a legend of the game.
