Aah man! Would have loved to see Murali reach 1000 test wickets.
But this guy is a real champion and sportsman!
So Long! And I doubt any bowler is going to reach 700 test wickets.

What a shame. I used to love watching this man bowl in his younger days. I think when England toured Sri Lanka in 2003, that was probably the best spin bowling I've ever seen, and i mean ever ! I dont think Ajantha Mendis will be anything like Murali. Ya, he'll have some tricks up his sleeve but he'll never be a test match quality spinner who can spin the ball the opposite way just as much as his off-spinner. A real shame, but I wish him all the best. He been a great servant to test and ODI cricket. Thankyou Marali

I think Dale Steyn and possibly Mohmmed AAmir may reach 500 test wickets, but I'm struggling to find a spinner who can match that

Once we return to test match cricket Graeme Cremer should pick up at least 500 wickets.

Half of Murali I hope you mean. He'll get to 500 test wickets definitely. He's by far the best fast bowler in the world today. By a country mile !
And I agree Eugene, I reckon Graeme Cremer could take 500 test wickets as long as he stays fit and continues to bowls how he currently bowls.
