Herath only started featuring in Regular ODIs after Murali retired..& u r trying to compare 2 ODI specialist bowlers who have bowled in ODIs from the day they got their team caps against a guy who only started bowling regularly in the last 1.5 years ?
I agree that Razzak is a better bowler than Herath in ODIs..But Shakib's form in the bowling is pathetic this year compared to Herath
the quality of a bowler is judged by mainly how gud he is in Tests..Not ODIs..Murali was a great Test bowler but not a great ODI bowler..he is one of the greatest because not of his ODI bowling but in tests..thats where u judge the true quality of a player
heres Herath's results in Tests in the last 2 years:
Matches: 21, Wickets: 116, Avg: 24.29, Econ: 2.56
he is one of the best test bowlers in Asia & one of the best test bowlers of 2012
