The off-spinner two weeks          ago announced that he would retire from Tests next year after being          troubled by a knee injury that kept him out of the recent Test series          against Pakistan.         The supporters are planning to send as many as one          million e-mails to Murali’s mentor Kushil Gunasekara, the former cricket          board secretary urging the bowler to continue for a few more years.         Muralitharan is the highest wicket taker in both Tests          and ODIs.         The e-mail originated by one Yoshitha Ediriweera read,          "E-mail Murali’s Manager Kushil Gunasekera asking him to request Murali          NOT to retire until he takes 1000 Test wickets. Target is One Million          E-mails. Ask all your friends to send emails. We must pressurize Murali          NOT to retire.
