They couldn't - but nor were they right to suspect Murali, because he was no different to anyone else.KaZoH0lic said:Yes, that's not the point, it's only due to the tests done on Murali we've come to know that. The point is for what reason could they suspect anyone else?
I'm a bit difficult in this case, because I only saw Murali for the first time in 1998, after the tests and when everyone with any sense knew he was fine.Pardon me, but if you think pre-biomechanics cricket Murali's action wasn't considered shotty based on looks than I'm not sure how to discuss this with you. What would you have had them do? Go after Pollack?
I don't know what the feeling was before that, but I do know one thing - if someone looks bad, get him tested ASAP and then we'll all know one way or the other.
