Richa, the top of the wicket takers in ODI and Tests are -

Murlidharan of Sri Lanka,
Shane Warne of Australia,
Wasim Akram of Pakistan,
Anil Kumble of India,
Kapil Dev of India,
I.Botham of England,
Glen McGrath of Australia,
C.Walsh of West Indies, and some others.

the new bowlers who look like they will join them in the long run are the like of S.Tanveer, A.Mendis, I.Sharma, P.Chawala. These bowlers are really young and have a lot of time in their hand to get to this spot.
