Akram hails Murali for breaking his record
Legendary fast bowler Wasim Akram congratulated Sri Lankan off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan for surpassing him as the highest wicket-taker in one-day internationals.
Muralitharan reached the milestone after claiming the wicket of Gautam Gambhir in the fourth ODI against India at Colombo to take his tally to 503.
''It is great to know that a bowler of Murali's calibre has surpassed me as the highest wicketer in one-dayers,'' Akram said.
''He is a very talented bowler and fully deserves the record.'' ''When I achieved that record I knew there was only one bowler capable of breaking it and that was Murali,'' the former Pakistan skipper told mediapersons.
The Sri Lankan wizard achieved the record in his 328th ODI.
He also holds the world record for the most number of wickets in Test cricket with 769 scalps in 125 matches. (UNI)

Elton John - Sacrifice
It's a human sign
When things go wrong
When the scent of her lingers
And temptation's strong
Into the boundary
Of each married man
Sweet deceit comes calling
And negativity lands
Cold cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better baby
Just passing through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice at all
Mutual misunderstanding
After the fact
Sensitivity builds a prison
In the final act
We lose direction
No stone unturned
No tears to damn you
When jealousy burns
Cold cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better baby
Just passing through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice at all
It's no sacrifice at all ////
