today the second test between Aus-SriLanka is happening...... one of the attraction of this test match is Shane Warne....coz he is juz 7 wicket behind than World record holdr Murli......as Murli is not playin this game thr is a chance to grab Murlis record for Warne... but analysis says tht Cairns wicket is not ok for spinners... its completely for the pacers...... but previous record shows tht warne has the ability to bowl good in every condition... so thr is a chance to break murlis record...... wat is ur opinion abt tht?

Whether or not Warne breaks a record in Cairns isnt important.

The important thing is who wins the test match.

When you start playing for records rather than for results, thats a problem.

Aussies are murdering Sri Lanka. 217 for no loss in only 53 overs. Hundreds to both Langer and Hayden

Australia have massacred SL bowling to finish at 370/2 at the close of play. This reminds me of last year's test at Adelaide between Australia and India. There Australia had scored 400/5 at close on the first day. In a great turn around India won that match by 4 wickets. But I do not think SL have the batting strength or the bowling resources to trouble Australia in this test. Most likely Australia will win by an Innings and Warne will have all the time in the world to go for his record.

I predict Warne will beat Murali's record in this test by two wickets.
