Sir Muttiah Muralidaran. You are

Mesmerizing
Unique
Reliable
Achiever
Legend
Irreplaceable

Thanks for the wonderful years of Cricket you have given to Sri Lankan's and to the whole World. Good Luck to you and your family. As far as I know you are the only player ever to be given a Red Carpet farewell and HE the President there in person to cheer you. You deserved every bit of it (thank your star that you are a Sri Lankan. You wouldn't have got this kind of send off else where). Good luck to Sri Lanka Cricket team in post Murali era.

Ps. Special thanks goes to Sanga for giving rest to Malinga the rocket, Thanks to Mahela for the catch.

Haroon Thursday, 22 July 2010 09:53 AM

Heartiest cograts Murali for your lifetime achievment.I have been following you right throughout your career as myself was at one time a spin bowler like yourself and I know the amount of effort you need even to take a wicket a piece.I am sure you will go down in history as the worlds greatest spin bowler ever seen and should be included in the guiness book.Well done, you have kept the SriLankan flag flying.Wish you all the best in the future.One word of advice,dont get involved in the political arena as your colleague did and tarnish your good name.Perhaps ,coaching the future generation maybe the best option as we are starved of quality bowlers.I wish you well in your future endeavours.May God Bless your family and you.
