Congratulations! He went past Javagal Srinath record (236 wkts) and is now in the second place after Kapil Dev. (in the pace dept) Never thought he would outlast Srinath when he started. Hoping he would get to 300!

Congrats.. frankly speaking he seems to be the only bowler who is at least consistent in the test team .. I am especially disappointed with the spinners suddenly instead of the faster bowlers .. Bhajji seems to be on a decline while Mishra and Ojha are not upto the mark of our last generation of fast bowlers like Kumble etc. .. maybe VVS was saying the right thing

To pass Srinath in the test wickets tally is no mean feat. Zak has been absolutely magnificent for us in the last 4 years.

Comparing him to Srinath's career: Srinath: Mat Wkts BBI BBM Ave Econ SR 4w 5w 10 67 236 8/86 13/132 30.49 2.85 64.0 8 10 1 Zaheer: Mat Wkts BBI BBM Ave Econ SR 4w 5w 10 71 238 7/87 10/149 33.04 3.31 59.8 11 9 1 5fers and 10fers seem identical. ZKhas superior SR and obviously since he seems to take more risks he suffers at average and Econ. Utilitywise they both have been similar when compared with the latter parts of their career. Who would you choose in your ATG team? I would still go with Srinath, as he seemed to have got more top order wickets against better quality teams. Anybody can get that stat?
