552 wickets in Test, 337 wickets in One day international matches. What else as a bowler would you dream of and what more would you expect from a team member?

When I saw him taking his one of his career best, 6 wickets for 12 runs ( I don't remember the oponent and place he was playing). The next day, I started to mimic his action, his style of bowling, his type of deliveries, and those goggly's. There were a lot of critics, but he fought against them. His effort in the field, his dedication towards the game, his tactics have made me a big fan for him. I still copy his action and style of bowling, when it comes to big level and tensed matches.
