When were the other two occassions? And who were the fielders and bowlers?

In clinical conditions. Damn, I broke my word.
EDIT: Have they shown Murali bowling on super slow mo yet?

If it doesn't bounce you don't have to worry about it
A wild run down the wicket slashing madly would do wonders for his test career.

Ah I think both are correct, it's within the legal limit yet it looks more bent than it really is or something.

Yes because CA and the ICC would not realise that he may adjust his action for clinical conditions. You've cracked the unbreakable code! You should become a match official mate, got a real talent for it. :o

No offense, mate, but this stuff has been done and done on CW.
Best I can suggest is to look up some old threads on Murali, the new bowling rules, the doosra etc

Mahela Jayawardene at first slip, went low but couldn't quite hold onto it. And the other one was at short cover, diving sideways but was unable to get his hands under it. Not sure who the fielder was for that one.

39.4 Muralitharan to Jaques, 1 run, edged and dropped! Was a tough chance at first slip, but went hard and wide of Jayawardene's left hand! Jaques lunged forward to defend, turned the bat in is hands, and got a thick outside edge.
59.2 Muralitharan to Jaques, no run, edged and dropped! Jaques is squared up by the extra bounce from the topspinner, poking and getting an edge that flies low and hard to the left of second slip, who lets it go near his boot, after moving to his right initially.
Can't recall the other.

Hey, I was just making a factual correction to your statement.
The guy who I feel sorry for is Botha who obviously copied Murali's style but couldn't pull it off.

The way Maharoof's bowled today he would compliment those two and Malinga very nicely.
Fernando though

Can anyone say "who wants pies"....The way Maharoof's bowled today he would compliment those two and Malinga very nicely.

Lankan's were fools for not picking their best quick bowler.

Fair point. I was surprisingly impressed by his bowling in the first two sessions.The way Maharoof's bowled today he would compliment those two and Malinga very nicely.
Fernando though
Pity he lacks a yard or two of pace (or something). But he might be alright (but not more than that I think).
Dilhara really was shovelling **** though...

Mate, yes they have tested his action in 'clinical' conditions, they analysed it to see how and why he bowls the way he does. That doesn't mean his action hasn't be analysed again and again by match officials, during and after matches.
This has been done to death and such attacks on players who have been given the okay to play by everyone that counts is just not needed.
