Murali is a cheat

[cbuts]

To claim that catch is a disgrace - although what do you expect from someone that throws it

He took the catch fairly IMO, and that's coming from a devastated Kiwi supporter.

And even if he didn't, it was a near enough thing for it to be a fair call on Murali's part anyway.

 

[cbuts]

how could it not have hit the ground. ONe hand was to the side, the other on top. The ball disapears from view - then bounces up. Whad did it bounce up from???

 

[cbuts]

Im not saying that cost us the game - We stuffed it up in other area's
But im sorry that was terriable sportsmanship

here we go again.....

 

[Matt79]

and Murali would have known that for a certainty how exactly?

When you hear players talk about these catches - half the time they feel that they caught it clean, and the other half they don't know. How do you know Murali didn't think he caught it cleanly at the time?

Do you play cricket?
You know 99.99% of the time whether it bounces or not. I cant see Murali not noticing that it hit the ground

Get over it dude - You yourself said the ball disappears from view...

 

[cbuts]

And so the camera's cant see it - so lets all start cheating?

if this had been say.....Fernando then no one would be complaining. But because its Murali out come the bashers.

well it's not cheating unless you get caught.

 

[Athlai]

But on a more serious note, this isn't really the place for this thread.

Exactly, thats the thing. Murali bashers/haters just want another reason to be "against" him playing the game.

It's something more like 70% give or take a few. Definitely not 99.99%

I don't have a problem with the Murali catch, but do you really think it's only 70%? I think 99.99% is closer to the mark then 70%..

Think about it...how often do those close catches occur? If you get 10 of them do you think you're sure almost every time that you've caught it? It would be more like 7 or 8 times out of 10, not 9.9 times out of ten.

And if anything you (as a player) tend to err on the side of "I caught that" rather than the other way.
