I'm confused. Richard was telling me he's only taken 609 wickets or summat

Whatever it takes!!!
It won't be Richard if he doesn't confuse people. He is the Narada of CW.I'm confused. Richard was telling me he's only taken 609 wickets or summat
For people who don't know who Narada is, please read up on Hindu Mythology.

I just looked at his Tests/100 wickets breakdown...
1-100 - 27 Tests
101-200 - 16 Tests
201-300 - 15 Tests
301-400 - 14 Tests
401-500 - 15 Tests
501-600 - 15 Tests
601-700 - 12 Tests
Any way you look at it, irrespective of opposition or circumstance, that's absolutely astonishing. Congratulations to him, and he's got many many more left in him before he retires.

I think it must be for a hundred-to-hundred split. SF Barnes last 14 Tests yielded 118 wickets (71-189) but I can't imagine too many other splits of 100 or more wickets that can compare with Murali's 12 Test hurricane. An amazing achievement.

He averaged more than eight wickets a test during this period. I can't believe that if he took a 4 wicket haul in the first innings and 4 wicket haul in the second innings...it would still be a small step down from his usual performances.

Indeed mate, it's a ridiculous ratio. It seems like a rate of wicket-taking that must be impossible to maintain, but who's to say - he seems almost to be getting more prolific with age.

Murali in Australia should be great -- on one hand people will love him passing Warne, on the other the Aussies will love it if he struggles. Should be a great contest.

According to the great man himself, at least another 300. So that's about 4 years of cricket.

Haha... I know... I was being facetious... but as no one noticed, I thought I'd let it ride... Don't seem to be doing too well with sarcasm of late. I think I'll stick to my usual, less subtle carry-on humour.
