Just creating a new thread for a true legend of the game while his farewell Test in Galle is currently underway. A cricketer who entertained millions of cricket fans around the world with his sheer wizardy. A bowler who was considered by almost every single batsman in Test cricket as a "walking nightmare". More to follow.

800 wickets - OMG!

Even his last test match is a 5 wicket haul. Great player and an excellent human being!

"I don't think anyone will get there, so well done to Murali for getting his 800," Warne told Sky Sports.

"The way he's gone about it has been amazing. There's been a lot of controversy about his action but at the end of the day the ICC (International Cricket Council) cleared him, he's allowed to play, and what he did with the ball was amazing.

"To face it was quite difficult, especially in those spinning conditions in Sri Lanka."
