I care what I think. What has Murali won? He will always be remembered as the guy with the illegal action.

Optical illusion, my ass. You only need to look at still photos of how bent his arm is just before releasing the ball if you think it's an optical illusion or if you don't trust your own eyes.marc71178 said:
There's a guy in my cricket team who is 43 with a crook shoulder who sometimes throws the ball in from the boundary and sometimes gets it in overarm. I can differentiate between the 2 methods and the difference is about as marked as Murali's action compared to others.

It can be as bent as he likes all the way through, no one is saying it isn't bent, as we all know its the straightening that is the problem. Do you really think you know better than all those at the biomechanics in Oz?? Very naive me thinks. You're talking like Geoff Boycott or some old man who "knows best", makes for embarassing reading to be honest.Fiery said:

It does straighten at release which is why it looks like a throw and is a throw. The ICC have obviously got in the ear of the biomechanics and told them to take it easy on Murali or you might upset the cash cow. I love cricket and have always thought he has been getting away with breaking the law and am furious that the ICC has now even changed the laws of the game just for him.
I couldn't give a toss if you thinking I sound like an old man who "knows best" ya pommie git.

I lived in London for 3 years and had a blinder and don't dislike poms at all. I think everyone should have one. I'm not too fond of your rugby team I must admit but that could have something to do with a certain piece of silverwaretwctopcat said:Boycott is a legend in my book mate, i'm going to start wearing some of those panama hats he always has just to be more like the man. A shame you seem to dislike a lot of poms, i think new zealanders are good people, you trying to change my mind??
