Murali: No spinner likes playing at Lord’s
Former Sri Lanka spinner, and world wicket-taking record holder, Muttiah Muralitharan played only one Test at Lord’s and isn’t too sad about that, saying ‘no spinner likes playing here.’
As part of their series about Honours Board legends, the Lord’s crew chatted to Murali about his spells on the sloping deck, and about that famous wicket that spun against all expectations.
Heeeere’s Murali!
