If it isn't today then it should have been.

The Husseys did it for the Aussies, while the Pathans did it for the Indians.

From 101-3, the Husseys took the Australians to 216 leaving them less than 30 to get off the next 34 deliveries.

The Pathans bettered that.

Chasing 172 in 20 overs, India looked down and out at 115-7 in 15.1 overs.

But such is the confidence of this Indian team that despite losing Jadeja on the 1st ball of the 16th over, Yusuf Pathan smashed 17 off the next 5 deliveries.

Imagine that.

The Pathans added 59 off only 25 deliveries to take India home with 4 balls to spare.

A day for the Husseys. A day for the Pathans.

A day for the Brothers!

Muralitharan 503 ODI wickets.

Finally!

Finally, I don't have to hear how Murali needs these many wickets to beat Wasim Akram's record.

He has done it!

Thank you Gautam.

Murali, you can retire in peace now. We don't want to hear of when you will get the 1,000th!

If the newspapers were to be believed, Murali should have taken away the record from Wasim Akram during the series against Pakistan.

Yet, the series after that is over the half way mark and Murali still doesn't have the record.

And we live another day to hear that Murali needs 1 more wicket to become the highest wicket taker in ODI cricket.

DO IT ALREADY!!!

I am tired of repeatedly hearing the same thing.

Its a plea to the Indian batsmen, please give him a wicket!

It happened again today.

For the umpteenth time in the last fortnight or so I have heard: "Muralitharan needs x wickets to get past Wasim Akram and become the leading wicket taker in ODIs".

I was reminded of that by at least 5 different sources today.

Will he get there already.

Please Murali, I know the Indian batsmen are great but please, please get to the record.

I can't bear listen to that statement again.

Just do it already.

While the fall out from the ODI series against Sri Lanka was still being felt in Pakistan, Jayawardene and company have already started another ODI series against Dhoni's men.

The 1st ODI seemed like a walk in the park for Dhoni & Co. They didn't even break a sweat while chasing down that total.

After the 80 odd year old Jayasuriya smashed a ton that became the ton scored by the oldest ODI player ever, I thought the match would have gone away from India.

But Jayawardene has learnt the art to throw things away lately. Yeah so he didn't do it in Pakistan, but largely against Bangladesh and now India, a good start was thrown away.

246? You need a 100 more to contain this Indian batting line up.

Especially when your M&Ms take only 1 wicket between themselves.

And will Murali finally get that record. I've been hearing about it since the Lankans came to Paksitan. Well we know he's about to get past Wasim Akram and don't need to be reminded of that everytime he's about to play a match.

And whatsup wtih Mendis? As soon as his bowling average tipped the 10 mark he lost the art of picking wickets.

He couldn't do it in Pakistan. He couldn't do it in the 1st ODI against India.

With Sehwag back tomorrow, he might not do it in this series at all.

Not that bad, but something tells me he's trying a bit too much. Much like his captain. Much like Lanka actually.

The Lankans needs to stop playing already. They've been playing for as long as I can remember without a break. And they don't seem like getting one soon either.

They don't even complain. Not even with the oldest ODI player on their side.

Another 4 ODIs against India. A 20-20. Tests against Pakistan. IPL. World 20-20. Pakistan again. Who knows what after that.

What do they eat?
