You can learn a lot from just watching him bowl and his videos are a must see for young spinners. To be honest I don't think in the next 100 years, cricket is going to see a spinner of his caliber," Saqlain, who is now settled in England, said.Although Murali, eight wickets shy of incredible mark of 800 wickets, will not play Test cricket he assured his side to play in the 2011 World Cup.
Saqlain said that he spent many hours with Muralitharan discussing the art of spin bowling and found him to be an amiable and honest man.
"The best thing about him is that he had no pretensions or airs about him and I am sure even after retirement he will be around to help and guide the youngsters aspiring to be successful slow bowlers," he hoped.
Saqlain said that the greatest thing about Murali was that despite the controversies surrounding his action he kept fighting hard and became a great spinner.
"In all fairness I don't think his action is suspect. The fact is that when the ICC cleared his action why should anyone have even raised questions about his action," he said.
