Apoorva Mathur: "I know it's a long world cup but if the Lankans win today surely they'll be favourites for the semis! On another note, you think the South African batsman can read Murali? What's their record against him?"

Well.... Muttiah Muralitharan has collected 46 wickets in 30 matches at 23.13. And Smith said this on Murali: "We've played against Murali quite a lot now," said Graeme Smith. "It still doesn't make it easy to play him."
