#3 Muttiah Muralitharan 10-0-99-0: Australia vs Sri Lanka, VB Series, Sydney, 2006

Muralitharan couldn’t weave his magic at Sydney

The spin wizard wasn't spared too! It was the second final of the VB series and the match was completely dominated by the mighty Australians, after some initial hiccups. The Aussies were tottering at 10/3 when Ponting and Symonds scripted one of the most amazing turnarounds by putting together a 200 plus partnership. Aussies eventually posted a massive 368 on the board and the Lankans collapsed to 201 in response.

If Ponting and Symonds were good against pace they were outstanding against spin on an SCG wicket that traditionally supported spin. Lanka had the best spinner in the world in their ranks but Ponting and Symonds dominated Murali like no one ever had.

Murali wasn't allowed to get into his groove and anything loose from him disappeared from sight. He was hit for 6 fours and 3 massive sixes by the Oz batsmen.
