Two of the greatest spinners the game has ever seen and greatest bowlers in general I may say!! But who is the best??Now that Shane Warne has already bowed out of his test career having achieved 700 scalps to his name, the man bows out as the top test wicket taker and the 1st to get there!! (thankful to Tsunami, that held back 1 whole year of Murali & SL Cricket) Anyway... Murali now seems to have no competition at all for the most test wickets record, though he is 34 wickets behind Shane Warne, at the current rate of wicket taking Murali should easily over take Warne within the next 6 tests this year! (provided he remains healthy and fit). OK! the main query is will he reach that magical.... virtually unbreakable.... in the past eras cricketers thought was impossible.... that 4 figure mark under his wickets column ? A 1000 TEST WICKETS!!!! (Damn!! that's a LOT)If Murali is to reach there at the current rate.. Provided that SL gets 10 Tests per year (2006 SL got 11 Tests), he'll have to play another 55 matches to reach the target so if all goes well it'll be in another 6 years time (or in 6th year from now!) that we'll see the magical moment!!! And he age will be 40 at that time!!What's your opinion will he reach there??</blockquote>
