Headline dead line # 24

The offender: Cricinfo Magazine
The subject: Muttiah Muralitharan
The dead line: Is Murali the greatest?
Comment: Don't you think an opening of such high quality deserved a little, just a little, more thought when it came to the headline? Here's the paragraph from the excellent profile by Mukul Kesavan. You decide.
The paragraph: 'Normal people don't think about sportsmen, they watch them. The thinking comes later, it's a second-order pleasure. There are those of us who add Virender Sehwag's latest score to his aggregate and divide by the number of innings played (minus the not-outs) to work out how many decimal points his career average has risen, but we do this in secret because we know that it is, like picking one's nose, a furtive pleasure that not everyone is likely to understand. To understand Muttiah Muralitharan, to appreciate what he means to cricket, we should begin, not with his statistics, but his Presence.'
