One of the greatest crickter who will hang up his boots after this This Test match, Muralithara needed two wickets going into the last days play against india and he was stuck to 799 wickets in his career as there was the last batsman to go. His Bowling was not as it was used to but he kept going and guess what persistance payed off as after 23 wicketless overs he managed to grab the 800 wicket of his career. What a way to end one glorious cricket career. Surely no one can take that record away from him.
Muttiah Muralitharan takes his 800 Wicket, What a Legend !
The long wait only highlighted the precious toil that went into the preceding 799. What a legend. It was a script that flirted with romance and the fictional. Lasith Malinga nearly didn't let Murali get to 800. Then the Indian tail refused to relent. I will be placing the video of him taking the 800 wicket here shortly.
