Ya, but still the point of the post was that he is the best spinner. Nothing to get hyper. You could have ignored that

Fastest to 300 - Lillee 56 tests

Fastest to 350 - Murali - 66 tests

Fastest to 400 - Murali - 72 tests

 

45 tests 252 wickets for Ashwin so far. Good on track of breaking all those records. 27 test, 150 wickets would be bit difficult though. Murali was picking 8-9 wickets per match after first 4-5 years of his career and reached those milestones very quickly.

 

By end of 2019, India will play 23 tests more. 13 outside subcontinent and 10 in SC. WC 2019 will be defining moment of his career I guess.

Some experts think he should be replaced by Jadeja and the no ball Mishra lol

In test matches he should be replaced by Mishra? Who said that? Would like to know.

WADR to Murali the person (and he's a great guy), I am more than 15 degrees away from considering him a true bowler.
