Murali gets 800!

[Wall]

Well Done Murali! A legend of the game a fitting way to bow out!

read it online as well, well done ! truly a great legend of the game and a gentleman at that !

despite whats been said about his bowling action he's still one of the best known characters in cricket and a true sportsman!

 

[Smurfatefrog]

It was so close, came down to the last possible wicket he took. What a legend!

 

[Boomstomp]

cricket is poorer without him!

He was always a good ambassador for the game, and one of the most respected players. His skill will be sorely missed!

Well done, it's a truly amazing feat. I'll say that the record will never be beating. With the number of test matches being reduced, and plyers not lasting, I'll say 800 test wickets will be like Bradman's 99 average.

I see some in the English media can't help but point out of the 800 wickets 176 came against Bangladesh & Zim.

Well done. The legend is not done yet...

I see some in the English media can't help but point out of the 800 wickets 176 came against Bangladesh & Zim.

If they take those 176 off he is still 241 ahead of England's highest wicket taker (Botham at 383)

Test cricket will keep going, but there wll be fewer tests per year. Plus players will not last long enough any more.
