Muralitharan's action not clean - Gilchrist

[3748755]

Adam Gilchrist has said he believes Muttiah Muralitharan, the Sri Lankan offspinner, has a suspect action, but blamed the ICC for allowing him bowl in international cricket.

Gilchrist wrote in his autobiography that there was no doubt in his mind that as per the laws of the game, Murali and many others have been guilty of chucking.
"I don't think he's personally to blame: he bowled the way he bowled, and it was not up to him to do any more than he was asked," Gilchrist wrote in his newly published book True Colours. He said though the argument that Murali's suspect action was an optical illusion was legally correct, it was a "direct attack to the spirit of the game".

"As much as I like Murali, my sympathies lay more with those batsmen, from every other nation, whose careers suffered because of a bowler who was in technical breach of the rules and seemed to enjoy a kind of political protection."
Murali was first no-balled for his action during his first tour of Australia in 1995-96 and though he was cleared after a biomechanical analysis, the controversy didn't die out. He was called again on the 1998-99 tour to Australia and sent for further tests in Perth and England only to be cleared again.

In 2004 the ICC stopped Murali (http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/srilanka/content/story/140848.html) from bowling the doosra, because his arm bent by an average of 10 degrees when bowling the delivery, which was double the permitted level for spinners. But next year, the ICC tweaked the the bowling laws to allow all bowlers "to straighten their bowling arm up to 15 degrees (http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/145735.html), which was established as the point at which any straightening will become visible to the naked eye".

U r dead Right Bro..>Very Old Trick....

Last tim Marcus Trescothic has mentioned in his autobiography,He shined da ball in da Ashes 2005 by using da Mint Chewing Gums...He has included that to increase his books copies selling
Here Same trick used by Gilchrist

In Trescothics Scenario,Ian Chappel blamed him rapidly............Wat wil he do in this case??????????????????? :rolleyes:

[Pata]

Ya Absolutely..Now that Aussies don't have any match winning spinners in their squad these kind of statements will be issued pretty regularly.. It won't be a big surprise if Mendis too become a target of these racists. He can't ever question about the legality of Murali's Action.. He even bowled with that Metal brace around his arm and showed the world that he could still spin it the same way!!! Shame on you Gilly!! :angry:

they always need to get into trouble. i hope dat da countries hosting da 2011 world cup wud ban australian players enterin into da country so as to teach there buggers a good lessn!!

[rochel1977]

I don't know what's wrong with these Aussie cricketers. may be they want to boost their popularity by giving some mocking comments about Asian cricketers. Must give these buggers a good treatment in the cricket grounds. That's how Asian players must do. :angry: :angry: :angry:

Shame on you Gilly!! :angry:Yeah.They ve only got Krezja and White.No any spinner hu can take wickets like M & M.So thats da case we hear those kind of comments 4m Aussies.......

I'd imagine Wat Ian Chappel do in this case...Z he justify this?????

Earlier I thought that Gilly z a good gentlement,Bcaz he went away in 2003 semi final even umpire was given him Not Out...Bt i can believe Hez Also same as other aussie buggers
