Michael Vaughan, Hong Kong

FORMER Australian leg spinner Shane Warne says he's not fussed about Muthiah Muralidaran taking over as Test cricket's top wicket taker during Sri Lanka's tour of Australia.

Warne, in Hong Kong as skipper of the All-Stars team playing in the Sixes tournament, was asked if he was unhappy to lose the title.

"No, good luck to him," he said.

"It's been nice to hold it for three or four years. I hope that the Aussie batsmen can make it a little bit hard for him.

"Look, at the end of the day, I've played my style of cricket and all the wickets and those sorts of things are nice, but I've always thought it's more about the way you play the game, the spirit in which you play.

"I think I've been an entertainer for 15 or 16 years and like to think I'll leave a legacy that I've entertained people and never given up and been pretty competitive.

"As for the record, I said about 10 years ago that Murali would get 1000 wickets. Good luck to him."

Warne is showing his usual passion at the Sixes with his new-found All-Stars teammates.

"We've got a really good bunch of guys," he said. "Watching Brian Lara and McGrath and Kumble and these guys, when you throw in Heath Streak, Craig McMillan and Geraint Jones, we've got a bloody good squad with a good team spirit and we've played some pretty good cricket.

"Watching Brian brings back some bad memories of actually bowling to him.

"It's the first time I've played in the Hong Kong Sixes. Everyone's been very hospitable, they've made us feel welcome. It's been a really good fun weekend."
