On a seperate cricket theme Murali has reached the milestone of 800 test wickets. Stunning performance really and one that is unlikely to be beaten.

And looking on the BBC story about that, 112 of them against England.

He truly is one of the greats when it comes to bowling. In fact I'd say he is the only spin bowler I can think of better than Warne. Like you say VFL, that milestone is unlikely to be beaten.

And about 200 against Bangladesh & Zimbabwe.

Not sure if 800 wickets is a measure of his greatness, the fact that he's played so many Test matches (a lot against Bangladesh & Zimbabwe) or that the rest of the Sri Lanka attack has been poor in the last 15 years.

He was a fantastic bowler and 800 wickets cannot be lightly dismissed.

If you break his stats down then you find that his most frequent victims include Mark Boucher, Sourav Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar.

Also Sri Lanka have had a decent attack for a few years, Malinga and Jayawardene would grace any test side.

I know what you're saying but Malinga has been around for, what, six years. Who else bowled alongside MM before that? And Jawardene is a batsman.

Whoops I meant Jayasuria!

They've had plenty of top class bowlers other than Murali.

Chaminder Vaas has 355 test match wickets, Jayasuria and Fernando were pretty handy too.

Hope Pakistan knock these runs off tonight to save me going to Headingley tomorrow for a few overs of cricket.

Never ceases to amaze me how people who put their hands in their pockets and make the effort to attend sporting events are treated.

There were a few hundred very noisy (also very well behaved although judging by the amount of officious stewards watching over them you'd think it was the pissed up bunch of morons that used to populate the Western Terrace) Pakistan supporters in the ground today who were naturally delighted to see their team beat the Aussies. The presentation ceremony and interviews were of course conducted in the area of the ground farthest from where they were and screened off so they were unable to see and all for the benefit of tv and the 27 people sat in the massive white elephant that is the new pavilion at Headingley.

Great 1st day for England in the Trent Bridge test against Pakistan.

After lunch when we lost 2 quick wickets things could have got very ropey very quickly. Great performance by Morgan and Colly to steady the ship and kick on. Morgan brought his century up in style with a six!

Couple of umpire referals which I'm looking forward to seeing on the highlights later.

Was Anderson given the Man Of The Match award? I think he probably was - just checked the Beeb and yes he was.

But surely as it was a very bowler friendly pitch with the ball swinging like a reckless Swede in a sauna, the accolade should have gone to either Morgan or Prior due to them getting 100s in those conditions?

Good Solid win for the Bears today against the Jocks

According to the BBC, Flintoff will not play again in 2010. I fear we won't see him play again.

Great performance by Surrey against Glamorgan in the day/night one day game last night. They scored 386 - 3 off 38 overs which is an amazing total and sets a new record in this form of cricket. 40 fours and 9 sixes!

The rain intervened and Glamorgan ended up chasing 227 off 20 overs under D/L and still scored at over 9 an over making 187 - 5 off 20.

Looks as though the 20/20 aapproach is starting to appear in the longer forms of the one day game.

Are we that good, or are Pakistan that bad?
