And he was a blatant cheater as well. Nothing to do with the Pakistanis having a go at him. but this was three and half decades back. Dirty ****ing cheat. Wanting badly to win against a touring non-test team. http://sundaytimes.lk/070819/Sports/sp201.html

The second Unofficial Test was played at Ahmedabad. Bedi the Indian Captain winning the toss decided to bat first. At close of play on the first day, India was around 260 for the fall of 7 wickets. The Sri Lanka team arrived at the grounds at about 8 a.m. and after a few stretching exercises went straight onto the nets. While the team was practising I noticed that the Groundsman was using a heavy hand and sweeping the grass in the playing area with what appeared to be an ekel broom. Bedi and Lala Amarnath the former Indian Test player and the father of Mohinder and Surinder who were in the Indian team were watching the operation of the Groundsman from a distance of about 20 yards. As the operation of the Groundsman appeared to be a somewhat suspicious I immediately rushed towards the centre and was shocked to see that that the groundsman had removed a heap of grass forcibly from the playing area. I immediately signalled to Abu Fuard and Anura Tennakoon to come over. When Abu Fuard saw what the groundsman had done he was furious and using the four letter to good effect he demanded an explanation for his conduct. A shivering groundsman most hesitatingly revealed that he was sweeping the grass as requested by Bishen Bedi.

http://www.cricketweb.net/blog/features/595.php He got away because he was tested by a panel who used no technology. if similar technology can be used as today no one knows where he would have ended up.
was his action ever in question ? His action looked ok in the pic. The article doesn't say if he was questioned ever. There were players in 1940 and 50 who were questioned about action and wore full sleeves. Saying he got away because no technology is absurd.

When you have to defend murali, everything becomes absurd :marchmellow:

How is this relevant to Bedi chucking and the first article you posted is equivalent to quoting ICF posts to validate an allegation

Still he a cheater. Man of absolutely no charachter who should not be pointing fingers at others, whether they chuck or not. At least those guys are not cheats.

I'd admit got away was bit gross. But still there were murmurs about him. And the site is a well reputed site as well. Don't think they will publish rubbish.
So you can't back up your claim from a reliable site...can you?...don't post Bullshit then...a blog can never be cited as proof

So Violating a Law is not Cheating...Since when :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: That's the kind of justification Srilankan cricketers have been doing all these years,so not surprised to see such a comment from a srilankan fan

And what about Ranatunga who is responsible for starting all this chucking business by supporting Murali.
