THE FIRST TIME ROSS EMERSON CALLED MURALI FOR THROWING!!! @ THE GABBA 95/96 - YouTube

Murali's leg break in this video looks quite pure. Which defies another famous video I saw of him with Ravi Shastri bowling in an arm brace where they claimed he has a birth defect where he can't straighten his elbow.

It's the illusion as has been mentioned ad nauseum. Some actions look worse than others - this actually shows that - so McGrath's action looks much more pure than it is while others look worse. You can see Murali's defect - everyone knows its there (even if you believe he chucks, his defect is a medical fact).

I don't want to open up old wounds.
I was just pointing out there is no illusion with his leg spinner and his action looks perfect and you can't notice his defect.

I know you don't intend it but that reeks of confirmation bias to me. I can see his arm bent the same with both - it's stuck that way.

Anyone (rob?) got a video of a runout at the bowler's end from a drive that hits the bowler's hand? Want to illustrate it for a cricket ignorant, and not the sort of thing you can google easily.
