Another milestone for Warne

Sydney: Australian spin wizard Shane Warne reached another milestone in his farewell outing as he grabbed his 1000th international wicket in the fifth and final Ashes Test here.

Warne became the second bowler in the history of the game to claim 1000 international wickets as he trapped Monty Panesar before the stumps during England's first innings at the SCG.

The leg-spinner, who is the highest wicket-taker in Test cricket having scalped 707 batsmen so far, has claimed 293 one-day international wickets.

Sri Lankan Muttiah Muralitharan was the first to claim 1000 international wickets. The off-spinner, who is the second highest wicket-taker in Test cricket with 674 scalps, has captured 1104 international wickets so far. Meanwhile, Australian paceman Glenn McGrath, who is also playing his last Test here, got his 900th international wicket on Tuesday. — PTI
