    Murali's reputation in tatters? Check this out.

    What, that I don't think he's been properly tested? I've been saying that since the start of this discussion.

    And how is my suggestion 'a sure way of getting him banned'? I'm sorry, that accusation just makes no sense to me. Marc90210, you still haven't told me what your objections regarding having the accuser present are.

    Murali's reputation in tatters? Check this out.

    How is Broad's presence going to help 'nail Murali'? I still don't understand why people are saying this. He doesn't have any part to play once he's confirmed that the action Murali is using is the one that he reported to begin with. He doesn't do the tests, he doesn't analyse the findings and...

    It wouldn't. I never said he shouldn't be there. You asked me which Murali supporter would be present, and I said Murali. I doubt you'd find a bigger Murali advocate than the man himself. This is not a court case. This is a black and white scientific study. There is no defence to be made, nor...

    Anyway, I put it to you again - does it not make sense to have the accuser there?

    Murali. He's still there. Can you be specific as to what your objections are to having the accuser there, given that he is not the one who performs the tests, does the analysis or gives the final verdict?

    I'm not the one who suggested Broad be there. That was Eddie. In fact, I wasn't even talking about these latest tests in most of my posts, rather the first tests. I was just showing how Broad (or, "the accuser") could be useful in the testing. Having said that, don't you think that it makes...

    I've got it. It's "Bumflask." Apparently it's for keeping your bum warm during picnics and fishing trips.

    He was right, wasn't he? Or is that beside the point? Is anyone else wondering what the missing letters in "Bumf***k" are? Fluck? Frick? It's a mystery.....

    Murali's reputation in tatters? Check this out.

    Why? You're assuming that Broad hates Murali instead of just reporting an action that he thinks is dodgy. Broad has no personal ties to Murali at all. Why shouldn't he be allowed to give evidence? He knows what action he reported, not Yardley or anyone else. Bruce Yardley, on the other hand...

    Murali's reputation in tatters? Check this out.

    How? He tells them if the action Murali's using in the tests is the same as the one that prompted him to report him, and then they test it. He doesn't know the results of the testing before he approves the action. If it then transpires that the action he approved for testing wasn't a throw, then...

    He can give evidence like, "Yes, that's the action that I reported, you can test that one," or, "What sort of an action is that? That's not the way he bowls in Tests." You see?

    He's not there to judge, he's there to give evidence, just as happens in a court case.

    Murali's reputation in tatters? Check this out.

    Is that what they were asked to do? No. But every time they test someone they feel compelled to ask for another change to the rules. Why? I've already been accused of repeating myself too much, so I'll have to ask you to read my previous posts on the topic again. The name 'Bruce Yardley'...

    Bowlers Reported As Chuckers in cricket history

    Wasn't the first person to bowl overarm, in fact, a lady? I believe she had to as her dress got in the way of her bowling underarm.

    Best Test Team Ever?

    He was a beautiful batsman to watch. In terms of technique, the modern batsman most similar to him is probably Herschelle Gibbs, although Kirsten was slightly more compact and had superior application.

    Really? Sorry about Adrian Kuiper in that case. He was really very good in his prime, I promise.

    Eddie, you are a man after my own heart (in a buttock-slapping, arm-wrestling sort of way, of course). My first ever cricket hero was Peter Kirsten. Many a Saturday afternoon when at school I would play cricket in the mornings and then trundle off to Newlands to see Peter 'do his thing.' I guess...

    So what do you think about Gary Kirsten then?

    Thanks Adamc. I didn't take offence, I just get frustrated when I try to debate a point while others just seem to be interested in taking cheap shots at me while ignoring the points I make. I do appreciate your reply though, thanks again. How do you become a Staff Member? Do you get paid? Is...
