Here
is an agitated little son of Muttiah Muralitharan
saying bye to his father, from his mamma’s
arms,
when the Sri Lanka cricketers’ team bus
left the cricket headquarters last morning. Little
Naren should be certain that
he will miss his father, this
great off-spinner, for a long time.
|
| But
what the little one doesn’t know is that
his famous father is eyeing for a world conquering
feat down under.
Murali needs only nine wickets, in two Tests,
in Australia to become the highest wicket taker
in Tests. |
