To claim that catch is a disgrace - although what do you expect from someone that throws it

He took the catch fairly IMO, and that's coming from a devastated Kiwi supporter.

how could it not have hit the ground. ONe hand was to the side, the other on top. The ball disapears from view - then bounces up. Whad did it bounce up from???

But im sorry that was terriable sportsmanship

and Murali would have known that for a certainty how exactly?

When you hear players talk about these catches - half the time they feel that they caught it clean, and the other half they don't know. How do you know Murali didn't think he caught it cleanly at the time?

Do you play cricket?
You know 99.99% of the time whether it bounces or not. I cant see Murali not noticing that it hit the ground

Exactly, thats the thing. Murali bashers/haters just want another reason to be "against" him playing the game.

I don't have a problem with the Murali catch, but do you really think it's only 70%? I think 99.99% is closer to the mark then 70%..
Think about it...how often do those close catches occur? If you get 10 of them do you think you're sure almost every time that you've caught it? It would be more like 7 or 8 times out of 10, not 9.9 times out of ten.

And if anything you (as a player) tend to err on the side of "I caught that" rather than the other way.
