Murali's making things turn for the better
Alex Brown speaks to Muttiah Muralitharan at the end of a tough year.
Muralitharan usually judges himself on wickets, averages and strike-rates, but he's adopted a vastly different method of gauging his success at the end of this year: His charity group has built 220 houses for those who lost everything in the Asian tsunami. And that, more than any 10-wicket haul, is a successful outcome for Muralitharan, who is now revered as much for his charity work in Sri Lanka as his on-field deeds.
