    Re: Muralitharan set to sign for Victoria Bushrangers

    Is it more of a marketing campaign to get more people interested and through the gate handing over their hard earned?
    More of an In Bruges guy?

      I understand that but we hardly struggled for crowds with the T/20 with our own players.
      One of the things I found exciting last season was to see kids like Billy McDermott's steaming in for 4 overs. I'd rather see us go down that road.

        Dave Warner came out of nowhere through the T20's (and some one dayers too) and rose to national selection. All we are doing is making it harder to find some diamonds in the rough. The crowds were massive last year. Murali doesn't make me want to go. Perhaps Gayle does, but it does nothing for growing our own.

          A scheduling clash could deny Victoria the services of Sri Lankan star Muttiah Muralidaran next summer, meaning Australian cricket crowds may never see him again.

          The Bushrangers have signed Muralidaran to play in Australia's domestic Twenty20 tournament in January.

          But the leading wicket-taker in both Test and one-day cricket said a planned tri-series comprising Sri Lanka, India and Bangladesh could mean he had to put national commitments first.

          "Sri Lanka has put a tour to Bangladesh - it's not confirmed yet, but we're trying - and ... we put in the contract if it happens then I won't be able to come (to Melbourne)," he said.

            I honestly don't think we need him. I don;t think he would put that many more bums on seats for T20 games anyway.
