Thanks for stating the obvious...to me anyway...GladiatrsInBlue said:MUrali is still young and might actually end up getting more wickets than anyone else in the world, even close to 1000 wkts, a record which might never be braken again YET he will never be able to gain respect like other champion bowlers gets, like for example Warne, and that is becuse many people do consider Muralitharan a chucker.

Hardly a magical moment...disgusting more like it...unfortunately, things haven't changed for him which is a sad indictment on the cricket viewing public (at least in Australia).King_Ponting said:murali having to stay in the dressing rooms at the waca after being abused by 20 000 people whilst running laps..... The call going round the ground was ******* chucker....
It was better in the Super Test than I've seen it in ages. There was the occasional chorus of "No-ball!". The crowd was a bit silent during THAT spell, though.Hardly a magical moment...disgusting more like it...unfortunately, things haven't changed for him which is a sad indictment on the cricket viewing public (at least in Australia).

Actually, you're right that it was slightly better...It was still pretty bad in the games at Telstra Dome though (at least on the Wednesday and Friday when I went). I had to restrain myself many times at those games...Top_Cat said:It was better in the Super Test than I've seen it in ages. There was the occasional chorus of "No-ball!".

That's what you get for going at all. Well deserved.Actually, you're right that it was slightly better...It was still pretty bad in the games at Telstra Dome though (at least on the Wednesday and Friday when I went). I had to restrain myself many times at those games...
If its true that he actually smiled ( picture a sinister smile), with some sort of inkling of things to come, thats so cool!Chubb said:Zimbabwe had just been dismissed for 286 in reply to South Africa's 600-3 declared. Andy Flower had scored 142. He was last man out, so as they were coming off he went over to Shaun Pollock and asked him if he was going to enforce the follow-on. Pollock laughed and said "Yes, of course."
Flower smiled back and said "Good."
He went out to bat again at 25-3 and proceeded to score 199*. What a player.
