Muralitharan breaks Warne146;s record

8226;Muralitharan, who made his Test debut against Australia at Colombo in 1992, took 15 years and 97 days to set the record

8226;It is the third time Muralitharan has held the record, having originally passed Courtney Walsh in 2004 against Zimbabwe in Harare before briefly sharing the mark with Shane Warne

8226;He then claimed it outright for the second time against South Africa until a shoulder injury allowed Warne to move back to the top

8226;Murali had drawn level with Warne this time when he got Ravi Bopara on the Test8217;s second afternoon, but was forced to wait for the crucial wicket through a mixture of rain, which forced the players off early on Sunday afternoon, and stubborn English resistance. Finally, in his 10th over of the day, he bowled Collingwood with a doosra and the ground erupted

8226;He took 9/51 runs against Zimbabwe in Kandy in 2002 8212; his best figures in an innings. His best in a match 8212;16/ 220 8212; came against England at The Oval in 1998.
