Just off topic -

Anyone seen Oliver Hannon-Dalby of Yorkshire's run up while bowling ? Surely the funniest ever ?

Ignoring the controversial part of his action, I do think he had a very effective action bio mechanically speaking. I can watch him all day.

No-one's arguing it isn't effective, it just isn't an attractive one. Having Murali in a battle of the "best bowling action" would be like having Graeme Smith in a "most aesthetically pleasing batsman" comp; he's very good at what he does but let's not pretend he is what he isn't.

It's arguably done more damage to the sport than any action before or since too.

Happy to take any nominations, although I highly I doubt Murali will last long once the battles start.

Don't recognize the damage. Do read Francis' take on it. http://www.cricketweb.net/forum/cricket-chat/49584-best-bowling-actions-ever.html

I stick with my nomination.
