The South African captain is said to have posted a sporting Twitter post that read:
"Murali 800 test wickets!!!!brilliant.great test career and a really good man.glad I don't need to face him in test cricket again:)"
Given Muralitharan's prowess to throw teams off balance with his mesmerising spin and at least one cricketer is honest enough to admit it!
All in good humour with a bit of fact thrown in!
