Meaningless stat of the day
When Andrew Strauss, Warne's 700th "test" wicket, was asked how he felt to be #700, he said:
I think there are probably 699 other guys who felt pretty bad after getting out to Shane Warne and I'm no different today.When I read that quote, I knew he was obviously wrong. There couldn't have been 699 other players who got out to Warne in test cricket, given Warne'd dismissed several players multiple times.
So here's the list of those who've taken 400 test wickets and dismissed at least 200 batsmen.
| Bowler | Count |
| Murali | 270 |
| Kumble | 243 |
| Warne | 236 |
| McGrath | 216 |
| Wasim Akram | 205 |
