i think murali's not allowed to bowl the 'doosra' anymore. i think it was the ICC's decision. however i guess zimbabwe are anyway too weak. the test series will probably be a whitewash as well. <_<

My mistake. i think what was said was that murali can't bowl the doosra for this test or till the icc reach some decision about the angle of his arm or something not forever.

D. Ebrahim played well till he was caught by dilshan that is. suprisingly (for me that is) murali got only 2 wickets. 2/58 i believe. :OOO:

by the way i read an article about some umpire (i think it was the first umpire who suspected murali's action i don't remember the name) who said that "Muttiah Muralitharan's record breaking achievement made me sick in the stomach. I can't believe that the ICC is still allowing him to bowl. Once I took a protracter and used it with a photo of Muralitharan during his bowling action and found that his arm was bent at an unacceptable angle." the article went on and on following these same lines. what do you all think of that? :saywhat:
