The best thing is how early in the match it was. They weren't giving him a bowl because their specialists were tired or the game was dead - it was eight overs into an ODIInzi was my favourite

Yeah I think everyone is talking past each other here. It's possible for both the following to be true and fine:
- Hair called Murali based on his own judgement which at the time was the only way to call chucking.
- Hair was proven wrong by subsequent scientific testing
You could make an argument that the entire affair turned out well for everyone: Murali got to keep his records, cricket now had a formal test to deal with chucking, and people are still having online meltdowns about it 30 years later.
Read my post on that club cricketers chucking discussion and talk to me again. Of course, its nice of you lecture someone to forget Murali. Try it yourself first, champ.round we go again. It's not bullocks, that the system is very easily cheated is common sense and widely accepted by most people in this thread. It's happening right now. Narine has been "bowling" for a decade. You're just refusing to believe anything that might be perceived as not being in 100% support of "MuRaLi pRoVeD"
I've said this 3 times already in this thread. You need to forget ****ing Murali because the second his name comes up your minds all clamp shut and thoughtful discussion flies out the window
Was Salim Malik the captain?The best thing is how early in the match it was. They weren't giving him a bowl because their specialists were tired or the game was dead - it was eight overs into an ODI![]()
jfc you're still goingNah what most posters who are butting in now having never participated in these debates before need to understand is this -
- Every thread Murali is brought up sees Burgey and TJB make the same "chucker cheat lololol" comments.
- When people rightly point out the racist and bigoted tropes of these posts, we have SteveNZ Adders and Shady chiming in to say how its all a bit of fun.
Not you specifically, the bunch of posters who were arguing against me by whinging about chucking and how they totally weren't moaning again about Murali.Who are you even talking to dude
One important point is missing.Yeah I think everyone is talking past each other here. It's possible for both the following to be true and fine:

He did. Boxing Day 1995.I thought Hair called him in 1995.
Yeah this is what I couldn’t work out. It’s ****ing insaneThe best thing is how early in the match it was. They weren't giving him a bowl because their specialists were tired or the game was dead - it was eight overs into an ODI![]()
Not if you can get paid for it. #salimmalikcaptaincyYeah this is what I couldn’t work out. It’s ****ing insane
Same tour, starting in 1995 Boxing day and extending to 1996 January. I am surprise at the surprise of that statement.I thought Hair called him in 1995.
Don't you smell bookies?Yeah this is what I couldn’t work out. It’s ****ing insane
I think the comms mentioned they were playing only 2 quicks and 3 spinners. So I guess they needed someone else capable of bowling pace before the fielding restrictions were upYeah this is what I couldn’t work out. It’s ****ing insane
racism is a scourge and should be decried at every level no matter how casual or banterous it seems to beNah what most posters who are butting in now having never participated in these debates before need to understand is this -

Explains a lot.racism, i know it when i see it,
Mate just stop. There's no racist tropes or anything race-related of any kind. Until you, migara and Xix69 came in and tried to create it.Explains a lot.
Mate, I know you mean well and I am not saying those guys are racist people or anything but if you cant see that their posts on such issues have been nothing but obvious racist tropes (and then the attempts to excuse them as "bait and fun lololol" ) I dunno what to say to you. But my post was laying out the reality, whether you wanna accept it or not.
