Plenty to celebrate for Muralitharan. In just his 66th Test, Murali has notched up an amazing 350 wickets. This is at a rate of over five wickets per Test compare this with some other greats who reached the 350 wicket mark. Sir Richard Hadlee took 69 Tests to reach the same landmark while the rest of the pack are a bit behind. Glenn McGrath did it in his 74th Test, Shane Warne in his 80th, Ian Botham in his 83rd.

Clearly, Murali has proven that he is one of the all time greats!
