As as Australian, our treatment of Murali always sickened me. He deserved so much better. Kudos to Ranatunga for standing up for his players and not throwing Murali under the bus. Ross Emerson is a sad, petty little man who thought he knew better than the ICC. The England vs Sri Lanka game at the Adelaide Oval would be the last international game that he umpired. Good riddance!
No he didnt, he bowled with a bent arm. They changed the rule so he could bowl, sounds like you are a sad petty little man if you think otherwise. Did you ever play cricket? I played for 40 plus years and I know the rules back to front. Emerson was right in no balling him, he bowled outside of the rules of the game at that time. The fact they changed the law is evidence of that.
@SynthMusicFan 501 Which is why he was called for chucking. They didn't know that at the time. I have nothing against him getting accolades for what he bowled after the sport scientists helped him adjust his action. But they did change the angle allowed law to suit him. I just get sick of all the Aussie bashing, the bloke who made the clip reckons they were conspiring because they were scared he would beat Warne. Pure Bullshit, Warne never had a problem with Murali's action. One fact no one mentions is that Murali got a lot of wickets against minnow teams on the sub continent while Warne's were mostly against strong teams but you cant begrudge him his wickets however he did chuck it early on, and they fixed all that.
@Artless. He bowled with a bent arm because he couldn't straighten it. I get that, but those balls were illegal because he couldn't straighten his arm according to the rules. Two umps lost their careers over the furore and the ICC changed the rule to accommodate Murali. Re read what I said, thats exactly what I am saying. The idiot that made the video is claiming the umpires tried to ruin Muralis career so that Warne would be the greatest wicket taker. Its bullshit to even contemplate that. Murali was at the start of his career, no one was to know he would go on to take so many wickets, and no one knew Warne would take so many either. Just another idiot playing the victim card.

Ranatunga was also sledged by England captain Alec Stewart trying to take the moral highground and saying that Ranatungas behaviour was a disgrace that day. Ranatunga replied "don't you worry about that" and played an innings to help SL win. You guys should check out the highlights of this game - very dramatic. Btw his comments about Asian influence being too high- half true it's mainly Indian influence being too much and calling the shots. So it's not as biased a comment as you may think- a lot of ppl believe india abuse their power in cricket way too much, Ranatunga was a tough nut though - never backed down, took all the sledging he got. He had the nerve to say Shane Warne was a nobody before the 1996 World Cup and it worked, got the Aussies all riled up.

@@iankearns774 ok. Tell me another name then. I remember 10-15 years ago, there were a bunch of off spinners for every country. You have to admit that ICC making the throwing laws stricter has taken one more ammunition out of the off spinners

They were both the same age, to the day, when they passed the milestone. Murali played for my team, Lancashire, in Engish domestic cricket. Legend !

Please check these two videos, which explain why Murali's bowling looks like it was illegal but actually legal.. On what basis ICC cleared him and had to change a rule in the game to allow him to bowl. Video1: A closer look at Muttiah Muralitharan's bowling action Video2: Legend Muttiah Muralitharan Bowling with STEEL ARM Brace - Proving his Action is LEGAL !!
You're question "why isn't straightening allowed?" For a fast bowler it applies more force to ball, therefore faster. It's why fielders throw the ball, not bowl it. They can get it further (boundary) or faster (runout) For spinners it applies more torque to the ball, makes the spin faster meaning more deviation and better results. I haven't seen stats but suspect you could double or triple the rate of spin by straightening the arm through delivery. For both types of bowlers it's most likely to occur in tight situations as players strive for that little extra (Note in the majority of cases it would not be a conscious or intentionally straighten and the player would be unaware they did it)
Leg before wicket means if it bounces in or out $ and knocks the bails off with one centimeter of the ball the leg is impeding thus removing the bails. I guess the technology is only so acuate (half a cricket ball 3.6 centimeters) but that doesn't forgive impinging on the bowler's skill when technology is available.
One time I agree with Nick over Gabe - India's current side are noway near the dominance of Aus of the 90s/2000s and the 1940s invincibles and the West Indies great sides. India in the last 10 years are very competitive home and away but definitely not a dominant team
Bro what does the mean of dominant please check early 2000 to 2015 they were really consistent becomes runners up or champions you might have misuses the word dominant
Chucking helps mainly with speed, also accuracy to some extend, but it adds significant speed. Also it becomes harder to see the release and predict where will the ball land. That gives a lot of advantage to fast bowlers especially.
Pitching outside again if it's going on to remove the bails then it's a impediment thus leg before wicket. Definition of before bouncing hitting and volume i guess it means preventing bail removal.
Yo Nick and Gabe, I got a question for you guys, how would you feel if this was to happen in American baseball where an American baseball pitcher gets called out for no ball
At the time it was colonialism the English and Australians knew best, but to be fair England wasn't so bad in terms of cricket but the Australians acted like they knew better it's one of the reasons why Australia wasn't liked as much.
Bodyline where Larwood hit Woodfull on the heart, England were trying to hit Australian Batsman. I think thats worse than anything else you can think off numbnuts.
I think you are looking at this from the wrong perspective. Australia did not like the English telling us how we should and should not behave. Much like the sub continent nations do not like being told how to behave. Naturally we told the world exactly what we thought of their advice. If you think this is arrogance then you should take an introspective look at your own nation.
@@eightyseven3113 I'm South African but i can tell you that even though Australia didn't like being told how to behave they did try to enforce there opinions onto other's the spirit of the game bullshit that was made famous
@@eightyseven3113 Not at all, at the time one of his balls was outside the laws of cricket which is why they pulled him up and why bio-mechanics helped him to adjust his action to bowl that delivery. Yes he couldn't straighten his arm so they changed the law to allow him to bowl it but Hair and Emerson were right at the time to query his action. The English claimed an Australian bowler Ian Meckiff was a chucker and he lost his career over it. Murali was not the first bowler to be accused of a questionable action.
He went to the Institute of sport for a full analysis of his bowling action. The laws of cricket state that you're only permitted to bend your elbow 7 degrees, he was found to bend his 14 degrees case closed. Many other bowlers were banned for the exact same thing, no one changed the rules for them.
From 1995 to 2015 especially in the 2000s SL was pretty dominant. At one point won 10 or so tests in a row against everyone - terrorised India in one of the tours. Finalists in 5 ICC World Cup events and won 2. These days even Associates can beat them.
@@santptube hahaha 'burnol' is the name. You should use it when it burns. Cuz Pakistan is leading the way in ODI's T20 and what not. I repeat ' BURNOL'
Shows how little these 2 hosts know about cricket calling Australia & West Indies "dominant". England were UNBEATEN for 500+ years!(until they actually played another country.......................) !!!!!!!!
Australia always had some weird thing about trying to weed out bowlers who were thought to be chucking. They ruined their own Ian Meckiff for the same reason. There's an obsession with rules and laws here and making sure they are followed to the letter without any flexibility at all. I think the reason is because Australia is essentially a prison colony at heart and ultimate importance needed to be given to rules and laws or the colony would have gotten out of control. Same reason for the complete overreaction and excessive punishments for the ball tampering scandal.
Cricket anthropology 101, 'a prison colony at heart', worse places to be incarcerated I suppose... As for the ball tampering, it was the rabid media that drove that bus. I believe at the time the South Africans were amazed at what all the fuss was about. I was ashamed by the complete farcical school boy attempt of it all. There is a very strong 'tall poppy syndrome' in Australia (especially the media).
@@johnwhear9600 coming from the UK, with Australia having a reputation as being a laid back society I was shocked by the number of rules and regulations that are expected to be followed so pedantically. From alcohol restriction, to road rules, border controls obsession with fruit and veg - was a culture shock for me
@@jehanariyaratnam2874 It would, especially as the UK has the whole of Europe as it's neighbour. Not aware of too many alcohol restrictions (except the knee jerk reaction of the Sydney lock out laws). Governments love revenue raising via motorists (rules = fines = revenue)... 🙃 Bio-security laws are very tight, and need to be.
shane warne was magical to watch, entertaining on the field , had a great personality and aura. Hence he is the most liked and loved spinner of all time. I too have the same feeling. But to say that warne was better than murali is being CRICKET DUMB. There is a difference between who is your fav and who is the better . and trust me a lot of pundits, experts, commentators and fans show this kind of stupidity over and over again in cricket. Cricket analysis is more often than not dumb. The reason is that ex cricketers who become commentators and experts are biased . And they have never undergone any training to suppress their biases and practice objectivity before coming to broadcasting. So they keep on blabbering the dumb shit out of their mouth over and over again. aND INFLUENCE THE FANS TOO. Some common examples of recent dumb cricket analysis : 1. the overhype and aura created around a player who by any basic cricket knowledge, stats, data, technique, classs etc. is nothing more than a DECENT PLAYER. His name is BEN STOKES. i call him the most overrated player of this centuiry. 2. Another one is that india should change its t20 approach to win the world cup. With the same t20 approach India has defeated every top side in the bilateral series over long stretches of matches. This means that for a consistent period of time and substantial sample size India has been a better team than every other t20 team in the world. All this with their own approach. Now when they lose in crunch games at the big icc event They start blaming the approach. What experts should criticise is the anxiety, fear and psychological block in crunch big moments. But they are so cricket dumb that they start crictising the approach. And i will get the same reaction from the fans too in the comments. Because dumb cricket analysis is considered to be GOOD CRICKET SENSE thses days. TRUST ME BOTH ARE COMPLETELY OPPOSITE THINGS
@@halfcentaur9836 when did i say that. Muralis action was clear. I am just stating the laws for gabe who didnt understand why bowlers arent allowed to jerk their hands like in baseball
@@Zavstar Incorrect. According to the law, Case 1: Straight arm - When you gain the momentum after taking the first arm swing and form your release - you take control of your resultant action and straighten your arm - you are not allowed to *BEND* your arm during the point of release (of the ball). Case 2: Bent arm - Same as above and this time you decide to bend your arm - you are not allowed to *STRAIGHTEN* your arm during the point of release. In simple terms, you are not allowed to change your arm's degree of arc at the time of release. If you start with a bent arm, you have to continue with that same degree of bent. The loophole of the law lies actually with *Hyperflexion* and ICC never deemed it illegal because it's very rare. Players like Shoaib Akhter and Jasprit Bumrah have hyperflexion.
Posted this comment a number of times n it keeps disappearing, after testing Murali again in 2004, they tripled the percentage a spinner could straighten their arm from 5% to 15% for the ball to be legal. His testing showed he straightened his arm 14%. I wonder how many wickets he got with an illegal action in the almost 10 years umpires were afraid to call him?
Murli's action was legal according to rules at that time but it will be illegal acc to rules that are today. The rules have become more strict and that ended the careers of many bowlers. ICC waited for murli to retire before revising their rules.
Garbage, they changed the rule to accommodate him, just as they let Malinga bowl round arm and that young feller thats bowling round today. The rules are less strict today, I umpire local cricket and you wouldn't dare no ball a sub continent cricket in fear of reprisals for racism. Its not racism when the rules are there for all to follow. My point being that Australian kids get technique drummed into them at a young age, fast bowlers arm should touch the ear at its highest point prior to release. Been that way since I was a junior in the 1970's. Obviously thats not the rule in Sri Lanka
@@technicalhelper7905 Instead of making him bowl within the rules they changed the law to suit him. And a good Umpire trying to enforce the rules lost his career. Does that answer your question dickhead?

This is how Assis ruled cricket. old habits die hard. That's y i don't respect Australian cricket they just cheat or create controversies.. that's a cowardly attitude. I'm talking about cricket not people FYI. People are good
You need to take a serious look at the conduct of all nations throughout the history of cricket. It sounds like you are only receiving information from anti Australian sources. You should diversify your knowledge base. I have no interest in defending Australia as we are guilty of a lot, I am only interested in people opening their eyes to all history.

To my eyes Murli chucked. The truth is he could bowl without chucking like when he bowled leg spin but he chose to bowl off spin. He clearly chucked and the ICC accommodated his action giving a silly justification.
In my opinion Cricket Raaz has made an extremely biased video. He has started with the narrative that “Australia was out to get Murali.” He then only includes information that supports this narrative. This is unfortunate because it is an extremely important topic that too often gets clouded by jingoistic nationalism and never truely deals with the topic. I will attempt to give a brief chronological history of events. 1972- Murali born with a congenital deformity of the elbow that creates an optical illusion of “straightening the elbow”. 1995- Umpire Daryl Hair calls Murali for throwing. Daryl Foster who is Australian and a friend of Murali takes him to the University of Western Australia's School of Human Movement. His action is thoroughly tested and the evidence convinces the ICC to clear his action. 1999- Umpire Ross Emerson calls Murali for throwing. Again the University of Western Australia's School of Human Movement conducts testing that clears his action. 2000-2002 Marc Portus, a biomechanics expert for Cricket Australia based at the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) in Canberra, conducted tests on 21 elite fast bowlers from five countries, in match conditions. He found that 34 deliveries from these bowlers showed straightening of the elbow between three and 22 degrees. Fourteen of those were above ten degrees, with five exceeding 15. In fact, only a handful of bowlers - pace or otherwise - during this period of testing were found to have no elbow extension (or "straightening") whatsoever: these were predominantly legspinners. March 2002- Marc Portus’ report was presented to the ICC. September 2003- Dave Richardson, in his role as ICC general manager, recommended to the ICC to have 15 degrees as the universal tolerance level. No change was forthcoming. March 2004- Murali’s doosra is reported by English match referee Chris Broad. Murali again returns to the University of Western Australia to test his doosra. The testing showed a 14 degree elbow straightening. Many key elements of the Portus report had been leaked to Murali’s legal team. Pressure was applied to the ICC to make a serious review of no ball laws. October 2004- Portus and fellow biomechanists Bruce Elliot and Paul Hurrion made separate and independent presentations to an ICC subcommittee brought together to review the matter of illegal bowling actions. Sitting on the committee were Aravinda de Silva, Tim May, Michael Holding, Tony Lewis and Angus Fraser. Portus showed footage from the AIS study, of all current international bowlers at the time, along with the corresponding 3D biomechanics numbers that his team had calculated in the study. The other presentations involved videos of both retired and active bowlers. November 2004- no ball law changed to allow 15 degrees of straightening.
Man you need to get your facts straight and what’s your obsession with India calling them dominant??? Srilanka were 07 and 11 odi World Cup finalists and 09,12 and 2014 t20 World Cup finalists!!
His leg spin ball was 100% legit but his offy was suspect because his arm bent slightly. They changed the law to accommodate him. Bishan Bedi who was a champion Indian Spinner of the 70's, was an untiring critic of Muralitharan by repeatedly calling him a "chucker", he found support from two other Indian spinners Erapalli Prasanna and Maninder Singh who said the Sri Lankan was given the licence by the ICC to bend his arm. This guy on the video is trying to make it an Australian conspiracy to protect Warne, its pure bullshit. Dont believe everything you see on UA-cam. This is a good example of fake news. Dont believe it guys its rubbish.
He can't bend ...the arm it's already bent... he is not straigtning it... he literally bowled with a iron rod... He got tested in Australia.. and they cleared...
@@buddhikadaluwatte8449 Correct, but when the Umpires first saw it they could see his arm was bent so they were correct to query it and no ball him. Once tested they found he could not straighten his arm so they changed the law. They should call it Muralis law. I know he couldn't help it but the umpires were within their rights and lost their careers because of the furore. Rules are rules, play outside them and accept the consequences.
Sorry guys,I can't watch all of this very biased and ridiculously slanted video,he absolutely throws it,everybody around the world knows it,it's an unfair advantage that he got away with all of his career. The ICC changed the regulations so that he was able to keep playing because they didn't have the balls to do what was right according to the laws of cricket. As a life long cricketer who has played high level cricket I am qualified in my opinion. love your videos,enjoying watching you guys getting to know the great game!
In regard to your comments about it's not on in regard the comment "Asia has too much influence" the Indian cricket board finances the ICC to approx the same amount as the rest of the top 8 nations combined. this video is an interesting look at the monkeygate incident n shows a glimpse of their influence ua-cam.com/video/czFI9KsOSXA/v-deo.html.

@@visb4643 You dont play cricket you watch T20 which is not real cricket. If Off spins dead then what is Nathan Lyon doing? He uses change of pace, variation and impeccable line and length. Off spin is not dead in Test Match Cricket or One Day games and thats all that matters. You may as well use a bowling machine in T2O cricket, no science in that hit and giggle garbage.
@@iankearns774 ok. Tell me another name then. I remember 10-15 years ago, there were a bunch of off spinners for every country. You have to admit that ICC making the throwing laws stricter has taken one more ammunition out of the off spinners
@@iankearns774 also, you don't know me. Don't assume if I play cricket or not, or if I watch T20 or test.
Sri lanka was involved in meny World cup finals (including t20 world cups). They are known to lost finals. They won 2. 😭
Wow.. I have also requested you to react this video.. Thank you very much.. Your biggest sri lankan fan 🙂
Cricket Tuesday on Monday night? Damn Nick is ahead of schedule.
Joe Root becomes the 14th player to pass 10,000 Test runs ..... and in a spooky coincidence he is the joint youngest with the only other English batsman to achieve the feat, Alistair Cook. They were both the same age, to the day, when they passed the milestone. Murali played for my team, Lancashire, in Engish domestic cricket. Legend !
That's because they were brothers
Gabes got the full plate .. umpires at it again right..Gabe now is the time to go complete hey wire on umpire s and sledge Aussie as well ... CRICKET Tuesday rocks...
Please check these two videos, which explain why Murali's bowling looks like it was illegal but actually legal.. On what basis ICC cleared him and had to change a rule in the game to allow him to bowl.
Video1: A closer look at Muttiah Muralitharan's bowling action

Ranatunga is leader of our Cricket Nation we don't have any leaders like this anymore sad and sad indeed
You're question "why isn't straightening allowed?"
For a fast bowler it applies more force to ball, therefore faster. It's why fielders throw the ball, not bowl it. They can get it further (boundary) or faster (runout)
For spinners it applies more torque to the ball, makes the spin faster meaning more deviation and better results. I haven't seen stats but suspect you could double or triple the rate of spin by straightening the arm through delivery.
For both types of bowlers it's most likely to occur in tight situations as players strive for that little extra (Note in the majority of cases it would not be a conscious or intentionally straighten and the player would be unaware they did it)
Also Gabe you should try bowling - chucking and unchucking. There is a huge difference. It sounds suble but with a naked eye you can see the effects.
Leg before wicket means if it bounces in or out $ and knocks the bails off with one centimeter of the ball the leg is impeding thus removing the bails. I guess the technology is only so acuate (half a cricket ball 3.6 centimeters) but that doesn't forgive impinging on the bowler's skill when technology is available.
One time I agree with Nick over Gabe - India's current side are noway near the dominance of Aus of the 90s/2000s and the 1940s invincibles and the West Indies great sides. India in the last 10 years are very competitive home and away but definitely not a dominant team
At home we are as good as those invincible team . Outside not yet
@@Sahil_bhatia506 yeah true, playing spin is about technique which can be learned, playing pace, swing is about ability
@@jehanariyaratnam2874 foreign player dont have techniques to play spin
@@Sahil_bhatia506 there are many non subcontinental players who were great players of spin- read cricket history
You still burning? So much hatred. I know your religion teaches you that. Cut piece.
Bro what does the mean of dominant please check early 2000 to 2015 they were really consistent becomes runners up or champions you might have misuses the word dominant
Chucking helps mainly with speed, also accuracy to some extend, but it adds significant speed. Also it becomes harder to see the release and predict where will the ball land. That gives a lot of advantage to fast bowlers especially.
Pitching outside again if it's going on to remove the bails then it's a impediment thus leg before wicket. Definition of before bouncing hitting and volume i guess it means preventing bail removal.
Yo Nick and Gabe, I got a question for you guys, how would you feel if this was to happen in American baseball where an American baseball pitcher gets called out for no ball
I really love your reactions and you guysss are awesome
At the time it was colonialism the English and Australians knew best, but to be fair England wasn't so bad in terms of cricket but the Australians acted like they knew better it's one of the reasons why Australia wasn't liked as much.
Bodyline where Larwood hit Woodfull on the heart, England were trying to hit Australian Batsman. I think thats worse than anything else you can think off numbnuts.
I think you are looking at this from the wrong perspective. Australia did not like the English telling us how we should and should not behave. Much like the sub continent nations do not like being told how to behave. Naturally we told the world exactly what we thought of their advice. If you think this is arrogance then you should take an introspective look at your own nation.
@@eightyseven3113 I'm South African but i can tell you that even though Australia didn't like being told how to behave they did try to enforce there opinions onto other's the spirit of the game bullshit that was made famous
@@ashishd380 Talk to me about Hansie Cronje mate or indeed the Indian Bookmakers because no doubt you have a foot in both camps.
@@eightyseven3113 Not at all, at the time one of his balls was outside the laws of cricket which is why they pulled him up and why bio-mechanics helped him to adjust his action to bowl that delivery. Yes he couldn't straighten his arm so they changed the law to allow him to bowl it but Hair and Emerson were right at the time to query his action. The English claimed an Australian bowler Ian Meckiff was a chucker and he lost his career over it. Murali was not the first bowler to be accused of a questionable action.
Ross Emerson was later caught and charged for fraud, I think.
He went to the Institute of sport for a full analysis of his bowling action. The laws of cricket state that you're only permitted to bend your elbow 7 degrees, he was found to bend his 14 degrees case closed. Many other bowlers were banned for the exact same thing, no one changed the rules for them.
🇱🇰❤️❤️ good captions🥺👌
From 1995 to 2015 especially in the 2000s SL was pretty dominant. At one point won 10 or so tests in a row against everyone - terrorised India in one of the tours. Finalists in 5 ICC World Cup events and won 2. These days even Associates can beat them.
Nice reaction I think you guys should react to his latest video about Andrew symonds
Pak vs WI is starting soon. Would love Gabes reaction on that
Who cares? Two substandard teams playing
@@santptube hahaha 'burnol' is the name. You should use it when it burns. Cuz Pakistan is leading the way in ODI's T20 and what not. I repeat ' BURNOL'
Not a great shining light of cricket... one of the reasons that 'neutral' umpires where introduced across all formats.
Shows how little these 2 hosts know about cricket calling Australia & West Indies "dominant". England were UNBEATEN for 500+ years!(until they actually played another country.......................) !!!!!!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Best comment
Today 7pm sri Lanka time...Sri Lanka vs Australia 1st t20 match plz react
Chucking increases speed and accuracy. Doing the normal action over your head isn’t as fast unless you ain’t a pro.
Someone called him the little chucker.
Sri Lankans were so angry with this Aussie action. Ranatunga within a year or so, led the same team to beat the Aussie and win the World Cup in 1996.
Australia always had some weird thing about trying to weed out bowlers who were thought to be chucking. They ruined their own Ian Meckiff for the same reason. There's an obsession with rules and laws here and making sure they are followed to the letter without any flexibility at all. I think the reason is because Australia is essentially a prison colony at heart and ultimate importance needed to be given to rules and laws or the colony would have gotten out of control. Same reason for the complete overreaction and excessive punishments for the ball tampering scandal.
Cricket anthropology 101, 'a prison colony at heart', worse places to be incarcerated I suppose... As for the ball tampering, it was the rabid media that drove that bus. I believe at the time the South Africans were amazed at what all the fuss was about. I was ashamed by the complete farcical school boy attempt of it all. There is a very strong 'tall poppy syndrome' in Australia (especially the media).
@@johnwhear9600 coming from the UK, with Australia having a reputation as being a laid back society I was shocked by the number of rules and regulations that are expected to be followed so pedantically. From alcohol restriction, to road rules, border controls obsession with fruit and veg - was a culture shock for me
@@jehanariyaratnam2874 It would, especially as the UK has the whole of Europe as it's neighbour. Not aware of too many alcohol restrictions (except the knee jerk reaction of the Sydney lock out laws). Governments love revenue raising via motorists (rules = fines = revenue)... 🙃 Bio-security laws are very tight, and need to be.
Cricket ❤🇱🇰
Please make a reweave about Asia cup 2022
Even now australia is among the big 3 earlier they were the big 2 you must watch the "monkey gate" issue if you need some sympathy for australia
shane warne was magical to watch, entertaining on the field , had a great personality and aura. Hence he is the most liked and loved spinner of all time. I too have the same feeling. But to say that warne was better than murali is being CRICKET DUMB. There is a difference between who is your fav and who is the better .
and trust me a lot of pundits, experts, commentators and fans show this kind of stupidity over and over again in cricket. Cricket analysis is more often than not dumb. The reason is that ex cricketers who become commentators and experts are biased . And they have never undergone any training to suppress their biases and practice objectivity before coming to broadcasting. So they keep on blabbering the dumb shit out of their mouth over and over again. aND INFLUENCE THE FANS TOO.
Some common examples of recent dumb cricket analysis :
1. the overhype and aura created around a player who by any basic cricket knowledge, stats, data, technique, classs etc. is nothing more than a DECENT PLAYER. His name is BEN STOKES. i call him the most overrated player of this centuiry.
2. Another one is that india should change its t20 approach to win the world cup. With the same t20 approach India has defeated every top side in the bilateral series over long stretches of matches. This means that for a consistent period of time and substantial sample size India has been a better team than every other t20 team in the world. All this with their own approach.
Now when they lose in crunch games at the big icc event They start blaming the approach. What experts should criticise is the anxiety, fear and psychological block in crunch big moments. But they are so cricket dumb that they start crictising the approach. And i will get the same reaction from the fans too in the comments. Because dumb cricket analysis is considered to be GOOD CRICKET SENSE thses days. TRUST ME BOTH ARE COMPLETELY OPPOSITE THINGS
The arms have to be straight you cant jerk your arms while throwing its unfair on the batsman who has to track the ball out of bowlers hands
You think the rich and powerful Sri Lanka board paid off ICC to clear a young bowler's action? 🤭
@@halfcentaur9836 when did i say that. Muralis action was clear. I am just stating the laws for gabe who didnt understand why bowlers arent allowed to jerk their hands like in baseball
@@Zavstar oh ok my bad, it sounded like you were talking about Murali at first
@@Zavstar Incorrect.
According to the law,
Case 1: Straight arm -
When you gain the momentum after taking the first arm swing and form your release - you take control of your resultant action and straighten your arm - you are not allowed to *BEND* your arm during the point of release (of the ball).
Case 2: Bent arm -
Same as above and this time you decide to bend your arm - you are not allowed to *STRAIGHTEN* your arm during the point of release.
In simple terms, you are not allowed to change your arm's degree of arc at the time of release. If you start with a bent arm, you have to continue with that same degree of bent.
The loophole of the law lies actually with *Hyperflexion* and ICC never deemed it illegal because it's very rare. Players like Shoaib Akhter and Jasprit Bumrah have hyperflexion.
Posted this comment a number of times n it keeps disappearing, after testing Murali again in 2004, they tripled the percentage a spinner could straighten their arm from 5% to 15% for the ball to be legal. His testing showed he straightened his arm 14%.
I wonder how many wickets he got with an illegal action in the almost 10 years umpires were afraid to call him?
Murli's action was legal according to rules at that time but it will be illegal acc to rules that are today. The rules have become more strict and that ended the careers of many bowlers. ICC waited for murli to retire before revising their rules.
Garbage, they changed the rule to accommodate him, just as they let Malinga bowl round arm and that young feller thats bowling round today. The rules are less strict today, I umpire local cricket and you wouldn't dare no ball a sub continent cricket in fear of reprisals for racism. Its not racism when the rules are there for all to follow. My point being that Australian kids get technique drummed into them at a young age, fast bowlers arm should touch the ear at its highest point prior to release. Been that way since I was a junior in the 1970's. Obviously thats not the rule in Sri Lanka
@@iankearns774aww why are u so.much offended
@@technicalhelper7905 Instead of making him bowl within the rules they changed the law to suit him. And a good Umpire trying to enforce the rules lost his career. Does that answer your question dickhead?
They had to change the laws of the game to allow him to bowl.

This is how Assis ruled cricket. old habits die hard. That's y i don't respect Australian cricket they just cheat or create controversies.. that's a cowardly attitude. I'm talking about cricket not people FYI. People are good
You need to take a serious look at the conduct of all nations throughout the history of cricket. It sounds like you are only receiving information from anti Australian sources. You should diversify your knowledge base. I have no interest in defending Australia as we are guilty of a lot, I am only interested in people opening their eyes to all history.
@G R ##David Warner (left) and Steve Smith (right) were banned by Cricket Australia for 12 months from international and domestic cricket while Cameron Bancroft (not shown) was banned for 9 months.## Im not sure when they played for india.... Steve smith cried like a baby after getting caught....
@G R What's the price for a sandpaper in Australia?
@G R Loll Rahul David! R u in a parallel universe????? Accusing Rahul David is like accusing Gandhi for holocausts... LOl u might be watching some kind of Parallel stuff... Tell this to anyone they will laugh at you. I taught you might know something about cricket .. ur just pain in the AUZZ..
@G R i did google but google is filled with millions of Australian cheating in cricket and ball tampering,, Sledging, Cry baby Smith, Its filled with Lots of Australian dust hence its hard to and rare to find other countries incident. By the way How was Gaba? does it still hurt.
Kudos Ranatunga. Daryl Hare just as bad as an umpire.
♥️📍🇱🇰
To my eyes Murli chucked. The truth is he could bowl without chucking like when he bowled leg spin but he chose to bowl off spin. He clearly chucked and the ICC accommodated his action giving a silly justification.
In my opinion Cricket Raaz has made an extremely biased video. He has started with the narrative that “Australia was out to get Murali.” He then only includes information that supports this narrative.
This is unfortunate because it is an extremely important topic that too often gets clouded by jingoistic nationalism and never truely deals with the topic. I will attempt to give a brief chronological history of events.
1972- Murali born with a congenital deformity of the elbow that creates an optical illusion of “straightening the elbow”.
1995- Umpire Daryl Hair calls Murali for throwing. Daryl Foster who is Australian and a friend of Murali takes him to the University of Western Australia's School of Human Movement. His action is thoroughly tested and the evidence convinces the ICC to clear his action.
1999- Umpire Ross Emerson calls Murali for throwing. Again the University of Western Australia's School of Human Movement conducts testing that clears his action.
2000-2002 Marc Portus, a biomechanics expert for Cricket Australia based at the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) in Canberra, conducted tests on 21 elite fast bowlers from five countries, in match conditions. He found that 34 deliveries from these bowlers showed straightening of the elbow between three and 22 degrees. Fourteen of those were above ten degrees, with five exceeding 15. In fact, only a handful of bowlers - pace or otherwise - during this period of testing were found to have no elbow extension (or "straightening") whatsoever: these were predominantly legspinners.
March 2002- Marc Portus’ report was presented to the ICC.
September 2003- Dave Richardson, in his role as ICC general manager, recommended to the ICC to have 15 degrees as the universal tolerance level. No change was forthcoming.
March 2004- Murali’s doosra is reported by English match referee Chris Broad. Murali again returns to the University of Western Australia to test his doosra. The testing showed a 14 degree elbow straightening. Many key elements of the Portus report had been leaked to Murali’s legal team. Pressure was applied to the ICC to make a serious review of no ball laws.
October 2004- Portus and fellow biomechanists Bruce Elliot and Paul Hurrion made separate and independent presentations to an ICC subcommittee brought together to review the matter of illegal bowling actions. Sitting on the committee were Aravinda de Silva, Tim May, Michael Holding, Tony Lewis and Angus Fraser. Portus showed footage from the AIS study, of all current international bowlers at the time, along with the corresponding 3D biomechanics numbers that his team had calculated in the study. The other presentations involved videos of both retired and active bowlers.
November 2004- no ball law changed to allow 15 degrees of straightening.
This is great. Thanks for the information.
Man you need to get your facts straight and what’s your obsession with India calling them dominant??? Srilanka were 07 and 11 odi World Cup finalists and 09,12 and 2014 t20 World Cup finalists!!
His leg spin ball was 100% legit but his offy was suspect because his arm bent slightly. They changed the law to accommodate him. Bishan Bedi who was a champion Indian Spinner of the 70's, was an untiring critic of Muralitharan by repeatedly calling him a "chucker", he found support from two other Indian spinners Erapalli Prasanna and Maninder Singh who said the Sri Lankan was given the licence by the ICC to bend his arm. This guy on the video is trying to make it an Australian conspiracy to protect Warne, its pure bullshit. Dont believe everything you see on UA-cam. This is a good example of fake news. Dont believe it guys its rubbish.
He can't bend ...the arm it's already bent... he is not straigtning it... he literally bowled with a iron rod...
He got tested in Australia.. and they cleared...
@@buddhikadaluwatte8449 Correct, but when the Umpires first saw it they could see his arm was bent so they were correct to query it and no ball him. Once tested they found he could not straighten his arm so they changed the law. They should call it Muralis law. I know he couldn't help it but the umpires were within their rights and lost their careers because of the furore. Rules are rules, play outside them and accept the consequences.
@@iankearns774 are you australian by chance ?
butt hurt guy.. :) leave it you cant justify what they did..
Sorry guys,I can't watch all of this very biased and ridiculously slanted video,he absolutely throws it,everybody around the world knows it,it's an unfair advantage that he got away with all of his career. The ICC changed the regulations so that he was able to keep playing because they didn't have the balls to do what was right according to the laws of cricket. As a life long cricketer who has played high level cricket I am qualified in my opinion. love your videos,enjoying watching you guys getting to know the great game!
We finally found the Ross Emerson's youtube account which shows that he knows it better than everyone in the game.
In regard to your comments about it's not on in regard the comment "Asia has too much influence" the Indian cricket board finances the ICC to approx the same amount as the rest of the top 8 nations combined. this video is an interesting look at the monkeygate incident n shows a glimpse of their influence ua-cam.com/video/czFI9KsOSXA/v-deo.html. You may need to research to get context
