Often, when trying to apply more spin to the ball, he still chucks. I've played and watched cricket for 50 years and it's sad to see that racial hatred is coming into one of the two most gentlemanly of sports. In the early '60's Australia had a bowler by the name of Ian Meckiff who was outed by an Australian umpire for chucking. His action was much less controversial than Murali's. Please don't think I'm biased against Murali, because I think he is a great bowler. If Monty Panesar or Shane Warne had suspicious actions, I'd say as much.

Its the same Darell Hair who called Murali a chucker in a test match at Sydney and Ranatunga, out of frustration walked the team out of the playing field - Inzy and Ranatunga should actaully be given some credit for being bold and standing up against Hair.
