If Muralitharan bags the last wicket conceding four or less runs, he will surpass his own (BBI) record of 9/51.
Current = 8/46.

murali nay khush ker dya yar.. goron kee lay lee
Re: 3rd Test, England vs Sri Lanka , Nottingham
Well done Murali. He is an exceptional bowler. Who would have thought of this collapse. Awesome stuff...
Sri lankans should seriuosly consider playing 9 batsmen plus Vaas and Murali. No other bowler has the capability to take consistent wickets so Murali will win them matches again when on fire.
Re: 3rd Test, England vs Sri Lanka , Nottingham
Congratulations to Sri Lanka.
In two Tests, Murli has taken 21 wickets. Just shows you how anemic England is to good spin bolwers. I hope Danish has the same headway in the coming series against England.
Re: 3rd Test, England vs Sri Lanka , Nottingham
On this evidencce we should play both Mushtaq and Danish against England.
Re: 3rd Test, England vs Sri Lanka , Nottingham
^ not a bad idea, but it will heavily depend on the availiblity of the pacers. As two fasties are in doubt, there may be a chance of playing Mushy and Danny together as they will be equally dangerous for England, in what otherwise considered as the best conditions for pace attacks.
Re: 3rd Test, England vs Sri Lanka , Nottingham
Shoaib, Asif, Razzaq, Danish and Mushtaq, let's see if England can survive the onslaught of this attack. Of course we will have , Malik and or Afridi as well.
Re: 3rd Test, England vs Sri Lanka , Nottingham
no doubt the attack looks good on the paper; the key thing is that Murli is a class act spinner and we all know that english team is not good at playing spin and to play Murli you need some thing extra, above par then avg batting, let me take moment to give kudos to Malik and Faisal and other players who handled Murli at his home ground.
you mentioned the name of Mushtaq:confused:
yeh kaun hai bhai, from what I know Mushtaq Ahmed was a bowling consultant and Saqlain Mushtaq is long gone/forgotten, and our spear head is already “tawa-n-tawa”
No doubt Danish is a good bowler but in all fairness, he cannot create the pressure that Saqi could on any ground / country, Pakistan are at loss, as they dont have a duo of good quality spin bowling.
Re: 3rd Test, England vs Sri Lanka , Nottingham
I was talking about Mushtaq Ahmed. Lood at his record in the counties this year. Murali is a class act but Danish and Mushtaq will be more than a match for the English batting lineup.
What do you mean the attack looks good on paper. Remember Multan???
