700th Wicket
I’ve just been watching the video clip over at The Corridor and it reminded me of something that went through my wine/beer/sherry/brandy addled brain last night as I watched the moment when Fat Boy got to 700 Test wickets. You don’t see it on the Australian TV coverage but I swear there was a wry smile on Andrew Strauss’ face as he walked off. He knew that no matter whatever else he does in his Test match career, he will always be known as the 700th Test wicket for Shane Warne.
Murali will probably still hit 1000 wickets because the laws of the game will continue to be changed to accomodate his cheating action and allow him to continue chucking bowling but Shane Warne will always be regarded as the greatest spin bowler that has ever graced a cricket field.

Watch your language you little turd.
The laws of cricket were changed for that chucking cheat. How can anyone be satisfied if the rules had to be changed to allow someone to play. You just dont get cricket. He does not bowl, he throws. He is not a better bowler than anyone because he only “bowls” about 30% of the time.
He has played many games against Bangladesh and most of his games on the subcontinent. The two bowlers can not be compared as Warne bowled to the best teams in the world his whole career in conditions that did not suit him.
All the best past players, and all the best current players say Warne is the best. You know nothing. Watch you language you little fool and get yourself a clue.
Why doesnt Murali wear his arm brace in games???? Because he cheats and through the biggest effort of whinging in history and a failing game in Sri Lanka, the Sri Lankan cricket board managed to get the RULES CHANGED just so they could be competitve.
I repeat, Murali doesnt “bowl” often enough to be the worlds greatest bowler. If he is, then he can only be compared to other bowlers operating under the changed cheating rules of cricket. Warne has always operated undert the same rules that all cricket greats had to adhere to. He is the greatest. I hope you are now educated.

Comment: Wtf? Murali is better than Shane Warne in all ways of bowling. Your a ******* ****
To reply to Prin, the previous commenter pretty much sums up my feelings on the subject.
