Warne: Go after Murali

Posted on 11/01/2007 in Australian cricket

Shane Warne, writing for Fox Sports, explains the best way to play Murali and says he wants to see aggression from Australia in their forthcoming two-Test series against Sri Lanka:

As a general rule for batsmen, the better the bowler, the more aggressive you have to be. If you just try to survive, eventually one delivery will have your name on it and in Murali's case he will bowl lots of deliveries with your name on it.

You need to make a statement and get after him before he gets you.
