    Darrell Hair

    Ross Emerson was a cheat! He was the one who no-balled Murali's leg spinner's. Anyone with a little cricket knowledge knows that the leg spin comes from the back of the hand and cannot be thrown, but he unashamedly called them, proving that his calls were pre-meditated. Thats is cheating pure...

    So the ICC evidence is finally in - and apparently even Glen McGrath chucks...

    Quoting from another former Australian cricketer, now thats credible unbiased opinion on Murali's action. Not! Whats next quotes from John Howard, Kerry O'Keefe, Lillee, Ross Emerson (remember him?) etc etc. Case closed. Lets accept Australia's verdict on this matter, screw science! screw the...

    So the ICC evidence is finally in - and apparently even Glen McGrath chucks...

    Will the critics of Murali's action (in this forum and elsewhere) primarily from Australia now apologise for unfairly and unjustifiably persecuting him for almost 10 years? And for Ian Botham, who without any integrity refused to consider Murali for the ICC awards this year was found to be a...

    **Official** Australia in India Thread

    The pitch in Darwin for the First test between Australia and Sri Lanka in July was a shocker! Didn't hear any complaints from Australia then! Did it have anything to do with the result?

    Shame on the ICC

    I agree the ICC team means nothing, but how can the ICC fight match-fixing and other serious issues when they can't show honesty in picking a world XI

    Shame on the ICC

    The announcement of the World Test XI by the ICC displays two critical issues. (1) They are not taking banned drug-taking seriouslly. (2) Lack of integrity in the selection panel. (1) As we all now know, for the 12 month period covered by this World Test 11 team selection, six of those months...

    Shane Watson

    When SW made his first appearance in International cricket, I was curious about him as a lot of people were talking about him. But sorry to say that, from what I saw he is over-rated. He can bowl a little but has struggled with his batting at the ODI level. Then again he may prove me wrong. Good...

    Can Sri Lanka start winning overseas?

    Why are we always asking the question can sub-continental teams win outside the sub-continent? Shouldn't we also ask the question why can't non-sub-continental teams win in the sub-continent? Australia is the only team that took up the challenge and have succeeded fairly regularly (thanks to...

    Hayden calls subcontinental batsmen 'selfish'

    thats right Marc, don't let facts ruin your defence of Hayden's statement either . See the link below from Cricinfo which says "the strike rates of the top Indian batsmen between the scores of 71 and 100 are actually marginally better than that of the top Australian batsmen"...

    Murali not the first to decline invitation

    Couple of articles by in defense of Murali.......... First by Peter Roebuck, easily the most balanced sports reporter in Australia. Surprise! Surprise! he's English. It is interesting considering Dennis Lillee's recent cheap shot against Murali about not touring Australia, we now find out that...

    Sri Lanka in Australia thread

    Thank you for this post. Remember, Australian cricket fans are the only ones who applaud when a sportsman gets injured on field which is what happened to Muralitharan in Brisbane in Jan 2003.

    Murali may now tour

    Murali's threat to skip the July tour of Australia came after John Howard replied in the affirmative in response to a question whether Murali was a "chucker" and not in response to fans screaming "no-ball" or "chucker" or whatever. Some people here are speculating on why he is threatening not to...

    Murali may now tour

    I agree, there is nothing wrong with fans giving a bit of "going-Over" in the spirit of the game. That is part of the game. But that has not necessarily happened always when Muralitharan tours Australia has it? In the 2002/03 tour, Muralitharan pulled a hamstring/muscle in the outfield during a...

    Murali may now tour

    There aren't too many people inside and outside Australia who wanna meet the most dishonest PM in the history of the country. (and I am not talking about the "chucking" comment)

    Murali may now tour

    yeah right! and the Aussie fans who don't the difference between a leg spin and off spin know Murali is chucking?? Get real mate! Enough of the bloody lies!

    Simplify the 'crooked' law: Ian Chappell

    The following comment is by IMO one of the best captains in the history of the game. But I do not agree with him that it is as simple as leaving it upto the umpires. After the dishonesty of Ross Emerson in 1996 calling Muralitharan's leg spinners, it cannot be left only upto the umpires unless...

    Murali: I will continue to bowl the doosra

    I repeat, he bowled the doosra during Phase 1 of the reporting rules and he was acting PERFECTLY WITHIN THE RULES. The official banning of the doosra by the ICC came AFTER the first test and before the second test. Again he acted according to the rules! He STOPPED bowling the doosra when he was...

    Murali: I will continue to bowl the doosra

    Liar, cheat and coward??? and yet the best criticism you can come up with is that he, in your words "exploited" phase 1 of the reporting rules??? what a load of illogical rubbish! What he did was perfectly within the rules. Also, how do you explain the 8 year hounding of Murali by your...
