Mr Hair is definately right that murali bowls too many illegimate deliveries and nobody dares to confirm this and malinga is exactly same.even breet lee and shoaib are valso in doubt some time but not like murali and malinga to whom even streeet cricketer can see. sanjay joshi
Even Saqlain Mushtaq - who is known to be the inventor of the 'doosra' wouldn't even dare to challenge the fact that this particular delivery cannot be bowled without bending the arm. The ICC was made to allow chuckers like Murali, Harbhajan etc. by the financial clout of the sub-continent crciket boards especially the BCCI. Guys like Murali, Harbhajan, Botha etc. have illegal actions.

By Mahesh Iyer- Absolutely! In fact with the availability of high definition relays and recordings, those who are entrusted with the job of "investigating the reported illegitimate action", SHOULD SEE the "pre-recorded" matches and SHOULD NOT SEE the action specifically performed LATER under the peering eyes/camera of the so called dummy investigators BECAUSE,these defaulters firstly, know it very well where, when & how they have deliberately defaulted and secondly, they are very much concious about that and hence, they DO NOT deliberately repeat the faulty action during the investigating session. It is 100% true to see that, anyone can see 1 out of every 10-12 deliveries bowled by the so called Akhtars, Harbhajans, Malingas, etc. are clearly what we call in gully cricket as, a "throw ball" especially at the death overs. If you are in doubt either see the matches that are shown deffered live or in the matches to come. These bowlers shall definitely repeat their harakiri as they are not aware of our e-mails.....If Wasim Akram or Malcom Marshall could have taken a leaf out of Malinga's liberty, then they would have compelled the Crickets Ruling Bodies to create a rule that the bowling arm should pass BESIDES the ears and not BENEATH the ears. Come on ICC, Cricket is a game of rules, hence, those who follow it WERE called GENTLEMEN.

right. but then an OZ institute did a bio mechanical test and found that even Pollock & Mcgrath's arm beds by around 10 degrees so they brought in the 15 degree rule.
No doubt he is a great bowler in the world.he was taken his world best wicket taker, no false is there. He is great in World Cricket. he can spin the ball on the table also, I seen it at Kolkata.
