well, my dear friend 'Sujit!'... the reason why " Mr. Waugh didn't pick the second test in Eden Gardens in 2000-01? the most humiliating defeat for any Australian team till date..!" might be, because...the article was titled "Steve Waugh rates his top 5 Test victories!"...*Duh!* ...and like Jaideep said, "I REST MY CASE!" ;)
Murali's frustration against batsmen using negative tactics is although not unwarranted is certainly not justified. Does Murali remember the test in Sri Lanka against India when a Lankan spinner( i dont remember his name) kept on bowling the outside leg stump the whole day and batsmen had to counter that? I guess even the batsmen have the liberty of twisting the rules once in a while. Pranav
