Man's greatness is not in never falling but rising every-time he falls

Murali - The real maestro

Salutations to Muthaiah Muralitharan.

800 wickets is an amazing feat. Coming from a  nation torn by war and strife for decades, he is the real class. What has often amazed me is his temparament and attitude. In my various dreams and wishes, i had always wanted to be a great offspinner and the seed of this desire was sown by murali, long back.  Its a different matter that i had no talent whatsoever to even grip across seam to spin the ball to the right.
                   True to its chivalrous nature and form, india presented the champion bowler with a memorable gift in his last appearance - by losing within whatever time was available.  On its day, India can lose to any team anywhere anyhow.
