In his last Test Match Muttiah Muralitharan has succeeded in getting his 800th wicket. At the start of the match he was 8 short, but left it as late as possible by getting the last man out in the Indian second innings.


Although some has questioned his bowling action, many regard him as one of the greatest if not the greatest bowler the world has ever seen. The second most prolific test bowler Shane Warne took 708 wickets in his test career.
