There will never be another Sachin: Murali

Ahmedabad, Nov 15 (PTI) "I read in the newspapers
somewhere recently that a boy in Mumbai scored 400-odd runs.

The papers said he's going to be the next Sachin. How can
anyone say that?" an incredulous Sri Lankan spin wizard
Muttiah Muralitharan asks as the Indian master batsman
completed 20 years of international cricket Sunday.
"There will never be another Sachin," Muralitharan
says, paying tribute to the champion batsman with whom he has
played against a lot of times during their long international
career.
The world's highest wicket-taker said you get to see
one Tendulkar in a life time.
"In the next hundred years you will not witness
another Tendulkar. He is once in a century player," he said.
"He can make runs even when he is 44 years old because
his technique is so good. It is this combination of technique
and temperament that has made Tendulkar such a great
cricketer," said Muralitharan, who has a record of 783 scalps
in Test and 512 in ODIs.
Muralitharan said he doesn't have anything new to say
about the master-blaster and for him it has been a privilege
just to play against him. MORE PTI MRM
