"I want 900 Test wickets" says Murali

I disagree, he's bowling as well as he ever has IMO. I'm glad we don't play SL in a Test again until probably after he retires, that's a major relief.

I'll enjoy watching him take these wickets against other teams. :D
Yeah New Zealand has played Sri Lanka so much lately to last entire lifetime. When Murali goes who else will step up to the mark?

Malinga Bandara showed promise in NZ last season, what happened to him?

Still in the squad for ODIs, but can't get a game cus they don't want to play two spinners, but they are happy to play four seamers. :wacko: With the super sub rule over, he can't get a game. When he played in NZ and Australia it was mainly as a super sub. But he looks a good prospect in ODIs. I doubt he will make an impact in Test, but i hope he proves me wrong.

its a bit concerning seeing he could be 200 wickets ahead of 2nd of all time...
And that's different to Bradman being 38.97 runs ahead of the next in what way, exactly?

IMO murli is about 175 behind warnie zim and bang dont count . and even when he breaks the record there will always be questions about him and his action unfortunatly theyll never go away. anyways warne has brought his best in bigger occasions and is the best there ever i

Best bowlers?

Murali > McGrath > Akram > Younis > Pollock > Kumble > Vaas > Srinath IMO
Thats a good ranking - but I would say that since the instigation of the PowerPlay rules Murali has found his ODI effectiveness curtailed measurably. That, and the ridiculous bringing in of boundary ropes 10 metres or more into the field of play - they were doing it in the tests too. Poor bowlers! It really is nonsense!

(But seriously though, look at Murali's ODI record over the last 2 years. Poor about sums it up)

Well that will just show how much better then he is compared the 2nd of all time...
Hahahaha...sure.

He'll get there, he's been given pretty much every advantage to take them. All he has to do is play Bangladesh and Zimbabwe a few more times and he'll have it much easier.

Bradman used the same width bat as the guy that finished second
