But I would add another title - VedGranthi. He has clearly written his own epic manuscript, a Veda in its own right, on Cricket. And also pl add KambliPaalak, as he has palaaved Kambli in the team for many years
The greatest spinner ever was Vaman Dinkerao Potdukhe - sachin tried his best to get him into the team. He could not get rid of Kambli, Agarkar, Bahutule, Kulkarni, Pandit etcc to make space.

can u take 100 wickets in test cricket at that average and striek of murali even if i allow u to throw,
are u certain.
i will give u a place in indian test squad.
what do u say.
its easy said than done, my boy.
murali is not a throw, it was a conspiracy by the while cricketing world to protect the record of shane warne.
they dont want a brown man / black man to confuse and tingle with them.

In that case can you change over to reading Malyala Manorama for the rest of your life my dear Vilambinathan ?
The greatest test spinner in the history of mankind - forever and ever - will always be SHANE FKN WARNE!
There will not be another Murali simply because there will never be another chucking exception allowed by ICC ever in the future. Murali was the last exception (previous one being Shoaib).
There was this upcoming talented spin bowler in Sri Lanka who was bowling the same way as Murali with the same wrist action, but he was banned by ICC and then asked to come up with a new action for bowling, cuz he was not allowed to follow Murali's footsteps.
Thats cuz in Murali's case, ICC allowed him in with the clause that he was handicapped, technically speaking, where his arm bent more by default. This exception allowed him to bend it more than stipulated.
Then came the bending degree rule (15 degrees, what a joke). Then came the doosra ball chucking controversy, which no camera can detect during play. They can only test after the game in a special laboratory, where of course, Murali would bowl normally.
The fact of the matter is - he is always going to be a controversial figure in cricket - it is physically impossible to match him, simply cuz its physically impossible to be like him (handicapped).
And for those who are, remain banned by ICC, and will always be in the future - long before they could ever become stars big enough to challenge ICC on their ban, as it happened in the case of Murali.

Sachin is only guilty of getting Kambi, Agarkar always into the team when they were useless, and trying forever to get Bahutule, Digambar, Sakhardande, Dandekar, Chaniya, Maniya into the team
