I have gone through the statistics of both Mr. Murali and Mr. Warne, which are as follows:
TEST MATCHES.
-----------------------
MURALI WARNE
Matches 108 140
Wickets 657 685
Average 21.96 25.25
Best Bowling 9 / 51 8/71
5 wicket Haul 56 36
10 Wicket Haul 18 10
Runs conceded 14432 17297
ONE DAY INTERNATIONAL:
--------------------------------------
MURALI WARNE
Matches 276 194
Wickets 416 293
Average 23.28 25.73
Best bowling 7 / 30 5 / 33
4 wicket haul 10 12
5 wicket haul 8 1
WhileI have no doubt that Murali is a better bowler as compared to Warne, the above statistics will substantiate my assessment.
Wane is nearing 37 years of age in a couple of days, whereas
Murali has completed 34 years and 135 days of age. Hence
Murali can continue to play for another couple of years and has
the potential to add another 100 or so wickets to his Kitty whereas Warne may be able to add another around 50 wickets to his Kitty.
If controversies regarding his Bowling Action was not interrupted his carreer, Murali should have by now overtaken the wicket tally of Warne.

Warne is a better bowler, as of now Murali is behind warne in terms of test wickets. And, murali has about 80-90 wkts with teams like bangladesh and zimbabwe, where as warne has less than 10 wkts against them. So you should subtract another 70-80 wkts from murali's list. Also remember Murali has a birth defect in his arm due to which he has this special bowling action. So definitely warne is better...
