Murali bowling with a astraight arm

Hmm...don't feel like ploughing through the whole thread, so taking the risk of asking a question put forth before;

does anyone know where I can view the documentary where Murali is bowling all his deliveries with a brace, proving (allegedly) that he can bowl them all without chucking?

I'd prefer to get it through Usenet, but any hints are welcome :)

Relevance?

No matter how many articles written by pro-Murali journalists - that won't change a thing.
It wont change for u since u will never accept anything possitive about murali... which i think is pathetic...

How does my personal bias (which incidentally was completely behind Murali before seeing that documentary) change whether he is banned from using a ball or not?

Like I've just said - check the history of discussions about Murali, and you will find that I have always supported him until seeing that documentary.

Now if that's not accepting anything positive about him, I dread to think what you'd describe the members on here who have always said he chucks everything as!

However, being so completely biased in the other direction that you can't fathom how someone could see Murali's action and think it's dodgy is a good thing? I'm willing to be proven wrong in thinking that there's something a little strange about his action, and have basically accepted that his normal action must be ok after the barrage of tests, however I'm still not 100% convinced. There seems to be hardliners on both the for and against sides for Murali, and in my opinion they both look pretty foolish.

Hardliners tend to look foolish whatever issue they're ranting about.

Now, back to the masterplan to bring down Blair and install a Marxist state answering solely to me.

Well thanks for jumping in ...... How do you assume that I am a murali supporter/and I think all his deliverys are clear ????

You what?

I don't work for the UWA or the ICC, so how can I affect the fact that he is banned from bowling the doosra?

Not at all.

Similarly, how can writers with a very-clear pro-Murali streak change that fact?

They can't either.

Perhaps you should read the thread again ..... maybe you may get it !

Get what?

I asked how articles from pro-Murali writers would change the fact that he cannot bowl the doosra.

The answer is they won't because they have no say in the matter,

Mentioning of the term "first-chance average" will be punishable by death.

Or, even better, watching Chris Tavaré bat. Actually, you'd enjoy that. Death it is, by having to face me unprotected in the nets at Exeter School.

Ooh, I'm so scared, I'm being threatened by someone who's memory is unlikely to stretch 7 months down the line. :p :p
And you know the rules about pumelling clueless tailenders with intimidatory short-pitched bowling. Punishable by... well... punishment. The looping leggies would be a far better option. Actually try and get wickets, rather than spatter blood on the pitch.
Did I say "get wickets"..............????? In the same sentance as referring (without direct naming) the Pickup leg-breaks..........






























First-chance average.

Of course I have, maybe I should try simply belittling the intelligence of other posters while presuming to make a point..

just a question is muralis doosra illegal????? If it is why was murali allowed to bowl it in the tsunami appeal match if it was illegal????? Isnt that like a ban or something if u bowl an illegal balll deliberately when told that you're not allowed to do it in an interanational match?
