Bedi points finger at Harbhajan

[sachin_fan]

Since none of us are obvious experts with respect to bending the arm and neither is the ICC very clear and accurate about it, I would take ICC's ruling anytime over BSB (Bull **** Bedi's). As long as ICC doesnt have a problem, and the umpire doesnt have a problem, I dont see any reason why Bishen should

For Bedi, a bent arm means throwing. Does he even know that there is a field called Biomechanics ? Only equally naive people will give credence to his proclamations.

Strange observation, mm ? Considering the large number of fans/critics who agree with Bedi. Biomechanics does not excuse a bent elbow of more than 15 degrees which straightens at the point of delivery. Actually, I've always thought Bhajji was the worst I've seen and when he was shown to 'deliver' the ball at 25 degrees flexion, at times, I was not surprised.

Do you think of some of the effort balls by Brett lee passes the 15 degree muster ?:D

Large number of people also used to think that the earth is flat and the sun goes around the earth.

Quite possibly. So what ? Doesn't particularly bother me. Also, completely irrelevant as the OP is about Harbhajan. How does mentioning another bowler you think is suspect, legitimise Bhajji ? Have to wonder why you included a pic of Jason Gillespie or, for that matter, 1 of Lee with a flex somewhere under 10 degrees.

I included Lee, Macgrath and Gillespie , the three bowlers whom Murali alleged that they also throw. http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/11/15/1100384496515.html

With regards to throwing, and Shoaib and Murali in particular, here's an excellent article, surprisingly from Rediff! http://www.rediff.com/cricket/2003/may/19foster.htm Daryl Foster is a real expert on the matter and i wouldn't take anyone's word over his on this matter.
