Barely two days after this, Murali has become the greatest of all the bowlers in the Test Cricket history. He passed the Magic Milestone of 519 Test Wickets. He's done this at an age of 32 and in just 89 matches, which is in itself is a great achievement.

What's so wonderful about this legend's career is that he's won innumerable matches for SriLanka both at home and overseas, not only just taking wickets. He's aptly called and truly *is* a 'magician'. To think that all the grunts he recieved in Australia about his bowling action might've only helped him become better and didn't decline his talent or morale, makes sense. :) Bravo, Murali!

It was a pleasure to watch Indians shine on the second day of the last and decisive test. Of all, I liked Parthiv making it to 69, and Jammy making a slow, steady and sturdy Century. Laxman's timing was as good as ever, with him falling to Shoaib... as ever! (sigh). Ganguly's batting was a treat to watch. Now, can India wrap up the series?

If it is Viru in the subcontinent, it's Lara in the Caribbean to make it to the headlines. Seems like this is an era of mammoth individual totals! With this, Lara takes back the hold on the record for highest Individual score in test cricket, with his name etched in Gold in the History of Cricket. boy, isn't that a great achievement?
