sarcastic Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 As we were all engrossed with the Pink day match in Johannesburg, Rangana Herath crosses Wasim Akram as the most successful left-arm bowler in test history. Amazing that a tiny island nation can produce two bowlers who are the highest wicket takers in test cricket bowling right arm and left arm. Some stories: http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/22390206/herath-battling-father-cut-deal-him http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/22388193/rangana-herath-akila-dananjaya-rewrite-record-books Sachin Tendulkar ✔@sachin_rt Outstanding effort to become the highest left-arm wicket taking bowler.

MechEng Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Great bowler, first I heard of him when Sehwag gave him phainty in Mumbai I wish him 500 wickets. Link to comment
NameGoesHere Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Manju trolls the Sri Lankas. On general principles, I hope they kick his a$$.. http://www.theweek.in/columns/sanjay-manjrekar/what-numbers-dont-tell.html Quote The following was said about Sri Lankan spinner Rangana Herath, the other day, in commentary: “He is a great bowler, he has got 400 Test wickets, so you can’t argue with that.” Well, I am going to argue with that. Great numbers do not always mean great cricketers. There was nothing in the way Herath bowled in the India-Sri Lanka series that made me feel I was watching a great bowler in action. As a left-arm spinner, Rangana Herath has a decent bowling action and he is accurate, but beyond that there isn’t much to rave about Link to comment

On general principles, I hope they kick his a$$.. http://www.theweek.in/columns/sanjay-manjrekar/what-numbers-dont-tell.html One thing is for sure is that Herath did not do well vs India. His performance against India is minnoyish and hence Sanjay Manju would have the guts to speak like that. The reason is probably because of the fact that Indian batsmen are good players of spin and most spinners don't have a great record against India. On the other hand, his record against Pakistan (which is also a subcontinent team with good spin playing ability) is fantabulous. He has 106 wickets in just 21 matches at 28 runs a wicket that includes 8 5-wicket hauls and 2 10-wicket matches. http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/49178.html?class=1;filter=advanced;opposition=7;orderby=default;template=results;type=bowling Link to comment

putrevus Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Manju is very hard of Herath but at the same time he is not wrong in his assessment.Walsh never was greatest WI bowler. Herath is very good but not an ATG. Link to comment
