Sri Lankan spin magician Muttiah Muralitharan became the youngest and the quickest bowler to claim 400 Test wickets when he clean bowled number elevn Henry Olonga in the final Test against Zimbabwe at Galle. He was the seventh bowler in Test cricket’s 125-year history to reach the cherished milestone. He was only the second spinner after Australian leg-spinner Shane Warne. He was eight Tests quicker than New Zealand’s Richard Hadlee (80 games), the previous fastest, and 20 Tests quicker than Warne. At 29-years-old he was also two years younger than Warne, who was the previous youngest at 31-years-old when he took his 400th wicket against England at the Oval in August 2001. Muralitharan has already set his sights on 500 wickets, but first he will be looking to overtake Warne - 430 wickets in 98 games - to become the most prolific Test spinner the world has ever known

Come on Game, you don't take 400 wickets by chucking or just playing on sub continents wickets. How many other spinners have taken 400 wickets on these pitches. Give credit where it is due.
Thats doesnot take away credit from Murali.he is the greatest Off spinner ever played..
he is 29 and he can play till 35-36 .I see 600 is possibility for him..
