Shane Warne who has announced his retirement after Ashes 2007 from all forms of internaional and domestic cricket has achieved a great unique feat by picking up the wicket of Andrew Strauss on the first day of the 4th test of the Ashes series before his home crowd t the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Wow what a great achievement by Warne who has become the first bowler to take 700 wickets in test. The master Australian leg-spinner bowled England opener Andrew Strauss with a leg-break with the second ball of his fourth over to trigger a huge roar from the near-capacity crowd. And then used his experience to all out England and claimed yet another 5 wicket haul in Test Cricket. He is the greatest bowler of all time and he will be always missed by the world of cricket.
