Congrats Muralitharan

And Finally, Shane Warne’s Test wicket record has fallen to Muttiah Muralitharan, who passed 708 victims against England in his hometown of Kandy. The man with the mischievous smile has claimed his scalps at a quicker rate than Warne; One could perhaps argue about his strike rate because of his bloated record against Zimbabwe and Bangladesh, but he can only dismiss who is before him.

Congrats Murali. He could well end up with One Thousand Wickets and this record as Warne pointed out, will never ever be broken Yet, Shane Warne remains the greatest bowler the world has seen - and probably ever will. To me, Mutiah Muralidaran’s world-record cracker that knocked over Paul Collingwood’s off-stump in Kandy doesn’t change that since Iam one of those who argues that Murali never bowls a legitimate ball. Period !!
