Murali slams Bedi, calls him 'ordinary'
New Delhi: In his first media interaction after retirement from Test cricket, legendary spinner Muthiah Muralitharan has told CNN-IBN that his fiercest critic Bishan Singh Bedi "is an ordinary spinner who had no right to comment on him".
Murali vented his ire and asked Bedi to "look at himself in the mirror". "What he has done can be achieved by any ordinary bowler in today's cricket," he added.
Murali further said that "Bedi has never done anything for cricket".
The bowler, who finished with 800 Test wickets, said "controversies have not affected me, rather they have made me stronger".
He also singled out Indian off spinner Harbhajan Singh as the one having the "capability to break my record".
Muralitharan said taking 800 wickets "is a special feeling" and that now he will focus on T20 and ODIs.
