SHANE WARNE enters Friday's second Test against Sri Lanka in Cairns needing eight wickets to beat Muriah Murilitharan's Test record haul.

The Hampshire skipper took his career tally to 520 Test victims in 111 appearances with three victims in Australia's 149-run first Test win in Darwin.

The leg-spinning legend bagged 3-20 in Sri Lanka's first innings but finished with 0-61 in the second.

Glamorgan's Michael Kasprowicz took 7-39 to set up Australia's win inside three days on Saturday morning.

Warne also had an unhappy match with the bat, scoring just three runs in his two innings.

Former Hampshire batsman Simon Katich, playing in his eighth Test, scored 15 and nine.

Hampshire pair Michael Clarke and Shane Watson have both been named in Australia's 30-man preliminary squad for the ICC Champions Trophy, which takes place in England in September.

The party will be trimmed down to 14 before August 10.

Michael Bevan, for years the key player in Australia's one-day line-up, and considered by many to be one of the greatest one-day batsmen of all time, has been omitted - despite averaging 53.58 in his 232 one-day internationals.

One man who has been selected is Andrew Symonds, who on Friday blasted 112 in the Twenty20 Cup for Kent against Middlesex.

He completed his century off only 34 balls in 37 minutes and in total his knock contained 18 fours and three sixes off 43 balls.

In June 2003 Symonds struck 96 for Kent against Hampshire in the Twenty20 at Beckenham - that destructive innings containing 14 fours and three sixes and made off 37 balls.

Symonds has only played two Tests for Australia but is just four away from completing a century of limited-overs appearances.

The highlight of those came during the last World Cup when he struck an unbeaten 143 off 125 balls against Pakistan.

The man who opened the Kent innings last Friday against Middlesex alongside Symonds was Pakistani all-rounder Shahid Afridi.

He is the man who holds the record for the fastest one-day international century of all-time - his hundred against Sri Lanka eight years ago taking just 37 balls.

It was Afridi's destructive hitting that powered Leicestershire to the C & G Trophy final in 2001, where they lost to Somerset.
