[Sachinism]

503 For Murali what a legend how many more is he going to get India have really made him work hard for his wickets this series

[graphic23]

Undoubtedly a champion of bowlers! Now leads the list for both ODIs and Tests. Amazing achievement and a terrific guy off the field as well. Phenomenal!

hair / bishen bedi argue chuckers shouldn't get wickets

[graphic23]

^ I agree. Murali's not a chucker.

[fineleg]

Congrats Wasim for maintaing the record for the bowlers.

You guys are a bunch of losers.

[Mr. Wicket]

Regardless of whether he chucks or not, that's one hell of a feat. Chucking != automatic wickets, otherwise Shoaib Malik and a whole bunch of others would have massive hauls by now.

[Ram]

Murali does NOT chuck. People who say he chucks are totally clueless about the mechanics of bowling. That stupid chucking law was antiquated and totally out of tune with reality. And just because the law said he chucked, does not mean he actually did .

Murali does NOT chuck.

It looks like he does. But that doesn't matter....does chucking guarantee you wickets? 700+ and 500+ makes 1200+ international wickets. Can you imagine the magnitude of his achievement from within the ranks of a semi-minnow side that does not know how to bring pressure to bear...the spinners greatest tool. The man is magic and a through and through champion. I have nothing but respect for him.

I like how his bowling average against India is worse than his averages against any other country.

Ofcourse yes .Shabbir Ahmed took fastest 50wickets along with waqar in test .Then they found he was chucking .And he changed his action .he sucked .Again started chucking Eng series 2005,got wickets . For Murli .His ''doosra '' was declared illegal by ICC .Then they changed that law due to pressure .His doosra is illegal and it looks ugly.
