Cricket Legends' Last Chance to Win the World Cup
Muttiah Muralitharan, Sri Lanka
Love him or hate him, it's hard to deny that the 38-old-year Sri Lankan has made his mark on cricket. The right-handed spinning slow bowler retired from Test cricket in 2010, dramatically taking his 800th and final wicket from his last ball in his final test match (no wonder Wisden has rated him the greatest ever Test match bowler). What's more, nobody has taken more one day wickets either (519 at the time of writing) but he'll forever be dogged by his controversial bowling action. Though cleared by the International Cricket Council, Murali has been unable to shake the suggestion that he throws the ball. Irrespective of the arguments, what's indisputable is that he's already a World Cup winner (1996) and is seeking similar success in 2011.
