I didn't see yesterday's match...so I don't know to what extent this influenced the result...but we have some history of being undone by dodgy bowlers (remember Shillingford in the West Indies)

Not surprised, having watched the match.

On the contrary, I didn;t think there was a lot wrong with his action.

Anyway Deon Ebrahim got fined big time for saying Murali chucks. He still has a world record that stands.

I think the idea is to ensue that Lyon&Ashwin are the only spinners in world cricket.

I don't think Swann would have passed the tests, whch probably explains his retirement while still at the top of his game. ECB being in th eloop ahead of the witchhunt probably told him to exit while he still ahd his legacy intact.

No Swann was just a p***y..

Seeing how hard it has been for Ajmal and Utseya to pass the retesting certainly gives more legitimacy to Murali who always managed to pass.

That's the difference between Mulari and these guys, although Mulari's action always looked dodgy to me ......

Murali did have a defect in his arm however from an accident. These others guys do not to my knowledge.
