His deliveries there did not turn as much as they usually turn and they were pretty slow while match situation is completely different. If he was tested today like Ajmal and Senanayke are tested then we would have got to know the reality.
I just want Steyn to bowl at 150k with the brace. Or Ashwin to bowl 9th deliveries with it

Are they saying they can bowl with brace on. It is Murli challenged he can but it was not convincing at all.

Muralist proved it beyond doubt that doosra can be bowled legally. It's only lesser mortals who needs chucking to bowl it.
It is not beyond doubt. He just showed he can bowl with a brace but didn't show he is still as good a bowler while bowling like that, also in real match situation he must have chucked quite a few, but he is still far behind Chuckmal in terms of chucking

From what I can remember, Saqlain used to chuck doosra like hell...he was lucky that the spotlight was on Murali always...and it is funny PCB wants him to 'help' Ajmal...what help can give except advise on how to escape law? We need to remember that a bowler might be bowling maybe 5-10 doosras in 10 overs but the fact that batsmen need to be ready for the chuck any ball means that his regular off-spinner becomes more dangerous...that was what happened with Saqi...I was very very happy when Sehwag ended his career in his backyard... Saqlain was a chucker in my books...I used to love the Pak leggies like Qadir ( he was not just a bowler but an overall package with his wizard like antics,etc ) but Saqi,Ajmal and Hafeez are a disgrace

How do you say that others also do it?

Saqlain chucked his doosra like hell' date=' but batsmen found wanting not picking it. But armchair critics are picking it. LMAO.[/quote'] I don't agree with him but EOD there's zero difference between your post and his - both just pick their favorite player as GREAT and look down on others.

Muralitharan urges bowlers not to bend the rules this should be biggest joke , the biggest chucker in history of the game asking others not to chuck.
Is there definitive evidence that Muralitharan actually chucked under the current regulations? I doubt there is, because his is a perculiar case. When Murali bowled with the braces on, the surprising revelation was that he appeared to have straightened his arm - when it was not possible to straighten with the braces on. It was acknowledged that this apparent straightening was actually an optical illusion caused by the dynamics of Murali's bowling arm and action. So the fact is, whether lab conditions or match conditions, he could bowl with zero degrees of straightening and still appear to have chucked because of the optical illusion. Under these circumstances Murali gets the benefit of the doubt and the burden of proof is on his critics.
