Muttiah Muralitharan celebrates dismissing Pragyan Ojha for some reasonWe don’t get it. It was only Pragyan Ojha. What’s the big deal?

If we’d taken 800 Test wickets, we wouldn’t be jumping up and down about getting Pragyan Ojha out. We’d have been more worked up about dismissing better batsmen, like Ian Salisbury or Chris Lewis.

    He was lucky he never had to bowl to me. Otherwise people would be calling most of his wickets cheap.

    Wait, they do that anyway, don’t they?

    I’m willing to accept that he was marginally better than Michael Yardy.

    Imagine poor Ojha though. If this continues every time his wicket falls it’ll be met with raucous celebration and worldwide acclaim. That’s not going to help his confidence.
