The ICC clearly buckled under the intense financial pressure put on them by SLC to cover the whole thing up and change the rules for Murali

Boycott is quite vocal on this point. You can hear the fear in Agnew's voice if Murali is mentioned whilst commentating together.

One wonders if he would have ended up holding the record for most wickets had the rules not be changed. One suspects he would not have, tbh.

It's this sort of bull**** that stops issues like this from being properly discussed though. It's the proverbial elephant in the room. If people believe an action to be bull****, then let them call bowlers out on it.

The rule change was good though. This is like saying Obama never would've become POTUS if they didn't abolish slavery. Sure it might be true but it shouldn't tarnish his achievements, because the old law was ****.

Given my other option was to give you an infraction, you shouldn't be complaining.

We need to change the infraction rules so there's a 15 degree margin of appreciation imo.Given my other option was to give you an infraction, you shouldn't be complaining.

Who was leading wicket taker at the time?? Whoever it was would still hold the record and we'd all have been following a different sport for the last decade whilst reminiscing on how much we used to enjoy cricket.
Shane Warne would now be the leading wickettaker, no?
So wouldn't have in been in Australia's interests to keep Murali banned, so they could claim the greatest batsman and greatest bowler? And Australia had quite a lot of power in the 1990s ICC.
Not much logic behind a pro-Murali conspiracy, and even less evidence.

Wasn't it Chris Schofield?
