Andre if I produce three headlines saying Murali throws would that be evidence he throws, no it would'nt I'm sure you would agree.
The way the investigation was handled and the way the handling of the report on the investigation are two seperate matters. Providing links to how the handling of the report was not released to the media as evidence that the investigation was covered up is a bit thin.
Please read earlier posts where it was aknowleged that the report was kept secret.
Produce 3 headlines if you like - but the truth is they won't be based on fact as only the doosra has been proven illegal.
All I can do is provide you with the cold hard facts about the bookie scandal - if you don't want to acknowledge what's gone on, that's too bad. You can't help the helpless. You claim that there was no problem because the ICC and ACB knew of the problem in 1995, but that completely and utterly ignores the fact that it should never have been hidden from the public and swept under the carpet like it was. We deserved to know, and it was only going to be uglier once we found out through other means - which is exactly what happened.
That said, you seem to like sweeping things under the carpet such as facts, so I don't imagine you would see a problem with what happened.
What I do find increasingly interesting, however, is how you claim that the Sri Lankans are so bad for playing the victim with Murali, yet you are the first to go down for attention when something doesn't go your way? What colour was that kettle again?!
Well, clearly the sampled evidence doesn't suffice for you...I hasten to add that you more than likely will not accept any wrongdoing, despite the fact that everyone else has - including the ACB, how have been very professional in their practices since then.
Oh, and I've read your past posts. They seem to contradict each other and they all have a common theme of the stubborness that you continue to show in never accepting you are wrong with anything. That's unfortunate, because until you learn to say 'Sorry, I was wrong', you won't be moving too far forward.
