Ask the scientists that tested him whether he chucks. You'll get your answer.

Yeah Warne played only 3 games against Zim + Bang,Murali's played plenty + his records no where near as good as Warnies if take both their stats against those 2 teams away............Scientists know nothing about cricket bud!!!!!!!!!

................and we've got a right to be arrogant after being the best in the world by a mile for 15 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But if Murali were Australian and Warne were Sri Lankan I am sure they would be singing a different tune.

This is about whether Murali chucks or not. And I think the scientists that tested him would know a thing or two about that.

But he doesn't bend it beyond 15 degrees. His arm is bent, but only ever as bent as it naturally is. The reason why "chucking" is illegal is that extra pace/spin/whatever can be attained by the straightening of a bent arm. Murali's arm is bent, but it doesn't straighten. He gets no advantage. I have no problem with it.

How do you suppose he would be checked in a Test match without seriously interfering with his game? He doesn't want to compromise his performance, and that is fair enough. There's plenty of footage of him bowling in Tests, there's no reason that can't be used.

Are you his brother ?
And yes there is plenty of footage of him bowling in tests and everyone i have seen hes a chucker.

Well as far as I am concerned The ICC have ruled that his bowling action is legal and that is final.

Everyone who calls him a chucker or yells out "NO BALL" when he bowls just suffer from tall poppy syndrome I think.
