Murali was accused of throwing the ball but because of the fact that he has a double jointed wrist he proved the critics wrong!
Murali has the record of 800 Test wickets whereas Warney has just over 700 Test wickets! Both brilliant bowlers but who would you choose to be the best ever spinner?
Chosen Answer:
Murali by a country mile~
Not only his TEST record ,even in ODIs
Don`t forget Murali has 530 ODI wkts too (Compared to Warne`s 290)
WISDEN too named Murali as the greatest ever..
& WISDEN never said Warne is better than Murali..
True that once they picked Warne over Murali & Sachin but it was in yr 2000 !
Murali & Sachin achieved a lot after that..
Not only WISDEN ,even cricinfo website & past cricketers like Viv Richards,Garfield Sobers,V.Sehwag,Rahul Dravid,Arjuna,Tony & even Aussies like Steve Waugh has said Murali is the best ever
Stats too prove that..
When you compoare the two,
Murali have a more wkts(in less matches !)better bowling avrg,economy rate,more 5 wit hauls,more 10 wkt hauls,better best bowling performance in both forms of cricket.
But some Aussies say Murali has taken his wkts against Zim & Bangla
now that too is a lie
Even if you compare the stats against top 8 teams only,
Still Murali has a better bowling avrg,economy rate,more 5 wit hauls,more 10 wkt hauls,better best bowling performance in both forms of cricket !!!
+Warne played most of his matches against Eng & WI but Murali played most of his matches against IND & Pak who play the spinners better than any other team.
Also Warne had the luxury of having great bowlers like Mcgrath,Gillepse& Lee at the other end.
Normally they get rid of the top order & Warne has to bow to the later middle or low order batsmen.
SO you expect him to have at least a better average if he is that good.BUT Still Murali has the better bowling average !
So there is NO ARGUMENT…Murali is the GREATEST EVER ~
Shane warne is the best wisden says it so.he’s placed at no 5 way ahead than tendulkar.

Shane Wanre because they record fastest 200 wickets in test and one day
Yah really both are a brilliant spin bowler.but muttiah murlitharan is better than shane warne.
yeah that is why Shane was popping pills, which his moma gave him……wink wink! In reality he should have been banned for life, but he is still playing. Murali was born with that bent arm, he cannot stretch his arm fully. All Yahoos who cannot beat him, complained to ICC. They did all the mechanical testes and everything came negative.
Shane warne is the best.
Shane Warne
Shane Warne..

another stupid monotonous debate but i will bite and answer your question.
shane warne is the best by a country mile as the other thing was a chucker so icc changed the degrees an arm is bent to appease the subcontinent countries.anil kumble is second best spinner ever
Muttiah Muralitharan is a best .It is highest wicket takers in the world.
Personally, I’d favour Colin Blythe or Tiger O’Reilly over either of them.
But of the two, Warne was the better bowler, Muralitharan the better thrower.
shane warne …………….once he commented”last night i dreamt of sachin tendulkar hitting my balls to boundries”
Shane Warne clearly for me, and there are 3 main reasons:
1) Muralitharan’s dubious action…despite being largely cleared there will always be doubts in people’s minds and this casts a serious shadow over his ‘achievements’.
2) Murali’s superior test record relies on his wickets against Zimbabwe and Bangladesh…if you take these out their test bowling averages are about the same.

3) The style in which they did it…While both were good to watch, Warne out-thought the batsman and had more varieties in his bowling. In addition he also revitalised the art of leg-spin which was almost dead. Watching Warne bowl was poetry in motion.
