Spin genius Muttiah Muralitharan brought down the curtains on his Test career in a blaze of glory by becoming the first cricketer to scalp 800 wickets as Sri Lanka spanked India by ten wickets in the first Test on Thursday.

Muralitharan himself played a key role in his swansong Test by scalping five wickets in the first innings and three in the second to take his overall tally to 800, thus becoming the first cricketer to achieve the remarkable feat.

So, users, do you think anybody will ever break this record of Muralitharan?

This is a very tough assessment,however I still will go with my belief that this record will remain unbeatable. Considering the amount of tests Murali has played to date and his age, I still cannot identify a current bowler who will play the game for that length of time to be able to beat this record. Cricketers no longer play the game for fame or to break records, they play strictly for money. This has become a global issue. Some cricketers are openly saying that they prefer the shorter version of the game even the fans are going crazy over 20/20 cricket. At the rate things are rapidly changing, we have to wonder if test cricket will still be able to attract the audiences like they did in yesteryear.

Hats off to Murli.

Murali completes 800 wickets. In my view, he is a bowling equivalent of Bradman. I don't think beating his this record is so easy.

It isa going to be very difficult, Keeping in view 20-20, 50-50.Standing and squaring the Muralithran"s achievement will be difficult.

Its a colossal task to beat his record! In the era of test matches losing significance, its a daunting task for any bowler to beat this record!

yes it will be equivalent to Bradman's record and it's tough to break in near future.Because there is no such spinner available in the world.

I wish the record to be broken.However in current sceanerio it  is a tough ask to do so.The number of test matches have been reduced drastically. More and more emphasis are given on the shorter version of the game and not to forget the ipl has added new flavour and danger to the conventional form of the game.

Of current players only bhajji is one close to murali but he too does not look to break his record

of course in current scenario the country are not playing as much test per year as earlier. augmenting to it players are going for the money rather than test cricket. like flintoff of england/ also the players like is born in centurys. so it hard to break his record.

Yes I dont think that it will be possible for any one in the near future to get 800 wickets. The spinners or any bowler should have first at least near 800. There is hardly any name to come upto the mark. Muthaiah Muralidharan's name has gone in the history of wickets collector.

Yes I do believe that no records stays for ever. Olympic spirit says it all "HIGHER, LONGER, FASTER". Living beings are constantly under the process of evolution and his endurance and performance level keeps developing (the unused ones are ruminated). 1000, 1500, 2000 all are achievable. May you live that longer.

And one important thing.. Everyone is giving answer as no to the question and gives thumps up to it. NO means no nobody will break it. Yes means yes it will be broke some day. THERE IS A BIT OF CONFUSION

Nothing is impossible. But that may not  'derail' the past records.

However, the "Record-makers" do not keep record of their deeds - they go on performing trying 2give their best.

First we should appreciate and congratulate Mr.Muttiah Muralidharan for his achievement. However, in my opinion nothing is impossible to reach provided with proper aim/target accompanied by the fire/drive to do it. Of course it will take time to break his record, but it is possible in future by somebody in the cricket world.

Thanks for the referral Mr. Dayanand Deshpande.

It would be a herculean task but as players are getting to play more cricket these days, I think someone will break the record some day. However, that will also depend on the future of cricket. If test cricket loses its shine, we cannot expect someone else to reach that milestone very soon. But, "records are made to get broken."

How convenient it is to blame the government.. There are flaws in government and then there were always flaws there.. now we can see them clearly because many people are coming up and giving voice to the wrong practices..
It is a wonderful concept but we need a right plan to follow it. Just an idea wont help.
Bad news really bad news . 1) We should produce our own arms . 2) More arms means more fight. 3) Only arms would not ensure security.
