If Murali is a white player he would have been acclaimed as the worlds best spinner by Aussies, English fans, NZ and SA fans. If Shane Warne is a brown Srilankan he would have been accused as a druggie a million times by the Aussie/Eng/SA/NZ fans. Murali is the greatest spin bowler in cricket history. Shane Warne got all his wickets after taking ILLEGAL STEROIDS. Shane Warne was caught only once in his career. No one knows how long he has been taking illegal steroids to get all his wickets. If baseball players who doesnt need as much stamina, strength and physical endurance as cricket players take illegal undetectable steroids then Shane Warne must be taking illegal steroids all his life and got caught only once. Shane Warne is a stocky guy. He wouldnt have had that much stamina and strength to play cricket for such a long time without taking illegal steroids. Shane Warnes bowling record must be purged from cricket records by ICC. Muralitharan is the best spin bowler bar none in cricket history. Even excluding Bangladesh and Zimbabwe wickets, Murali will beat Warnes record very soon. Warne is a druggie, he took illegal steroids for all his wickets whereas only Muralis doosra is debatable. http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2...6527941557.html Andrew Flintoff and Brett Lee are Blatant CHUCKING CHEATS - Peter Roebuck Action must be fixed October 2, 2004 Unless Andrew Flintoff alters his action, he will be thrown into an avoidable fracas, writes Peter Roebuck. Andrew Flintoff's bowling action is provoking concern. His action has deteriorated since he returned from his latest injury and now contains an unmistakable jerk. Before long, the roughness of his style is bound to attract the attention of observers prepared to remove their eyes from a harmless tweaker suspected, at worst, of reverse-throwing at a mild pace. It is extraordinary that so much fuss has been made about a spinner at a time when heads are being clattered and wickets taken by men whose menace goes beyond an ability to turn the ball at right-angles. The delivery that felled Brian Lara in Hampshire was the clearest throw since the ball that removed Marcus Trescothick in Perth not so long ago. Cricket is trying to find its way through the scientific and legal quagmire that illegal bowling has become. Not that the issue was any more satisfactorily dealt with in the past. Such is the prevailing confusion that the danger arises that bowlers of all sorts will feel free to send the ball down without taking heed of the restraints supposedly imposed by the rules of the game. Every country has strong opinions about all bowlers except their own, a habit also detected during the outbreak of corruption that bedevilled the game a few years ago. But then, corruption is not merely a matter of money and, as usual, the International Cricket Council is left holding the baby - an overrated activity. Flintoff's action requires attention. Of course, he might not be conscious of the roughness that has crept in over the course of a few months during which his career has caught fire in the manner of an Olympic flame. The suggestion that bowlers with illegal actions are culprits to be put alongside hijackers, greedy politicians and men rubbing mint into the ball is unkind. Still, footage is taken of every over bowled in a match and shown to players in the evenings, so cricketers are not without information. Accordingly, it is hard to believe that no one in the England camp is aware this issue might crop up. Flintoff is an important member of an emerging England side. Besides his buffeting batting, he is a "strike" bowler in the sense that he is used in short bursts and given the task of upsetting an innings. He bowls fast and with hostility and favours the short-pitched delivery. Armed with the old ball, he opens his chest even more and tries to cut the ball away from the bat, the celebrated "reverse" swing of recent discovery. In short, he is a handful. Injuries have threatened to curtail his career as a bowler, a circumstance bound to inhibit a swashbuckling style of batting that has emerged after a long period underground. Subsequent to his breakdowns, desperate to retain his menace and anxious to protect his body without losing pace, the Lancastrian has put greater emphasis on the use of chest, wrist and arm to hurl the ball down. Unfortunately, the elbow also has come into play, as is almost inevitable when wrist and shoulder are pushed to their limits. His raggedness is more obvious when he moves around the wicket and bends the ball away from left-handers. Flintoff may remain within the leeway of 10 per cent that has been permitted to fast bowlers since slow-motion film revealed that, otherwise, hardly anyone would pass muster. Alternatively, he may stray outside that range. By and large, the 10 per cent allowance reflects the capabilities of the naked eye, which remains the surest guide in these affairs. Since Flintoff's straightening of the elbow can be seen from a distance, he might contravene even the amended rules. In that case, the matter must be drawn forthwith to the attention of responsible officials so that it can be confronted before it is too late. At least it is possible nowadays to realise matters of this sort without feeling that a player's position is thereby put in peril. Flintoff's action requires the cricketing version of surgery. Otherwise, it will be raised again by those persuaded that authorities omit to treat every ball upon its merits. |
