Cricket: Walsh greatest wicket taker ever

West Indies bowler Courtney Walsh has become test cricket's greatest wicket taker.

The 37 year old paceman took his personal tally to 435 victims on day four of the second test against Zimbabwe in Kingston - eclipsing the old mark of 434 set by India's Kapil Dev.

Henry Olonga was the record breaking victim for Walsh.

Dev sent four bottles of champagne to Walsh to celebrate with when he broke the record.

West Indies are on the verge of winning the test with a day to play - they're 8 without loss in their second innings and need a further 64 runs to win.

Meanwhile, the New Zealand team to play Australia in the third and final test in Hamilton is due to be named soon.
