Kumble and murali are both in the top 4 leading wicket takers of all time, however im wondering what peoples views are on the achievments of these 2 bowlers really are, obviously taking as many wickets as these to have is still an amazing feat but are they really as good as they sound? Both bowl predominantly against tailenders, put on after the pace bowlers have dismissed the top order batsmen. They also bowl around twice as many overs as most pace bowlers do in test matches. Finally both India and Sri Lanka play a large amount of test matches against lesser teams, ie bangladesh and zimbabwe, making it easier to gain wickets. I might be making a nil point but to me i think that its unfair that the greats such as warne, mcgrath, are not heralded for thier achievments more.
