Yeah it's a stat I enjoy looking at. Who will take the most wickets in a calendar year. Warne's done it five times but really isn't having the best year. I don't know if Sri Lanka play enough tests for Murali to be a chance, and even then there are a few names who are taking wickets like him. People like Kumble... who may be bowling the best of his career. He's a chance. Pollock's a weird one, he's bowling great but without the rewards. I'll tell people in future generations that Polly was better than his stats indicate.
I think the pick right now is the 2003 record holder, Makhaya Ntini. Bowling the best of his career. I'll admit it, I wrote him off as someone who'd never be great because he can't be lbw's. But against the left handers he's a menace. Amazing strike bowler these days. I don't know how many wickets he's gotten this year but I bet it's a few.
