I dont think hes a chucker, and i dont mind people calling him one because its their own opinion. What really irritates me is for someone who has never watched a game of cricket in their lives calling him a chucker soley based on what they see on tv and in newspapers. They have to remember that only his doosra has been banned, not all his ball types.

just think though, would you want to come and play at a place with thousands of people chanting that you are a chucker and a cheater
i rkn..... and now da sri lankan PM is threatening to sue the icc as this article says http://www.cricinfo.com/link_to_database/ARCHIVE/CRICKET_NEWS/2004/MAY/147594_SL_17MAY2004.html. in my opinion this is over-reacting.... but yea i still believe that howard had no right to talk about the crap he does...
Murali is a legend!!!!!
Technically he "chucks" his doosra, the thing is that this is only according to the ICC's current laws which allows fast bowlers 10 degrees of straightening and spin bowlers 5. His arm-speed is the same as a normal fast bowler's therefore he should be allowed into the 10 degrees category (his doosra is 10 degrees). The University of Western Australia (UOWA) ( the place where he was tested to see if he chucked) said the laws aren't adequate and ill-based, the experts recomended that Murali's doosra should be allowed until more research has been put into spin bowling and its bio-mechanics.
Also the the UOWA said that Murali doesn't gain any advantage by straightening his arm 10 degrees, he gets it from his helicopter (super-elastic) wrists which allows him to impart amazing amounts of spin on the ball.
For those of you who still aren't convinced: the fact that he cant straighten his arm fully creates the illusion that he chucks, an illusion many people have fallen for). If we take into account his disability (Inability to fully straighten his arm) it appears he delivers the ball at 30 degrees but because he can't straighten past about 15 it really is only 10-15, which according to the UOWA should be the acceptable limit.
Anyway, I hope you understood this and accept that Murali doesn't chuck.
