His arm bending researched in several biomechanic labs and tested more than 5 times in England and Aussie universities for thousands of hours. And CLEARED. who are you to say him chucker. He struggled all of his career and faced all critics humbly. He will always remain as a LEGEND and highest wicket taker FOREVER........
I'm an Aussie and I thought it was disgraceful what they did to Murali. I admire his strength, resilience and determination to not let others get him down. What a truly great man, a great example for all to admire.
Yep, some Aussie umpires and players’ muttering towards him were disgraceful. Always played the game with a smile and humility. The Aussies tried to finish him because they hadn’t a clue to play him.
Hey Matt!! I studied in Tasmania for ten months of my life and i have to say it was an unforgettable experience.. I am calling you out here because I would like the people in the comments section here to know that Australians are very nice people and you cannot judge the whole basket just coz of a few bad apples.. I have met some of the warmest people in Australia.. and I wish the best for you and your country.. Bless you all ! 😊
Actually, for you and those whom saying I'm wrong- something he said was "If you put enough force onto them, they grovel" to a team of West Indians. It was meant as a racial insult hence he was a racist.
So true! All the chaps calling the game on TV sided with Murali! They even had an Umpire who never even umpired test cricket before that called him out for chucking!
Premeditated accusations. Darrel Hair was such a douchebag. Emerson himself said to the newspapers that an Australian official forced him to call him a chucker
Pretty evident that they had already decided to call it a no-ball irrespective of what he was bowling. His arm was clearly straight when he bowled thta leg break
Mike Hussey: "You could hear the Revs on his ball, whirrrrrrr" That ladies and gentlemen, is impossible for any spinner of today or tomorrow. It could only be Muttiah. I am proud I grew watching a legend that might never be born again.
As a common Indian along with billion Indians we all wanted Murali to take 800 wickets even though that match was against us but we were so happy for him ..
i am really lucky that i got an opportunity to meet him (murali) when he visited our university campus few months ago ..in india..he is such a humble person...and so friendly..
Some Aussies wanted it... especially the Racist breed! Also, if not for a great leader and captain Arjuna Ranatunga, Murali's career wouldn't be the same
why u afraid man take directly name like me, shane warne and company want to ruined his carrier but he was brave man and he fight against all odds and became "THE GREATEST BOWLER OF ALL TIME"
now its happening for every clever bowler which outside in india , specially most recently akila dhananjaya . This is the strategy of india to ban other players? Previously they couldnt ban murali , but now with the involvement with ICC they banned players regulary with technology
Westbrook theory2.0 . B.C. Lara love him because he brought out the best in him all the time, and Murali rates Lara as the best ever and the only one who could truly read him from his hand. Such champions!
I am Indian whenever I have seen murli playing against India it made me nervous.. He is magician a bowler you see as cricket fan comes once in a lifetime...
I had heard many stories of Murali But Watching Him On Video Made Me believe it all While I was a child,I heard that every Batsman was feared of Murali and it was True❤❤❤ Though I from Nepal, He is my Favourite Spinner Of All Time
The admiration from Hayden, Langer and Hussey - also Warney and Murali having a laugh together! I hope my fellow cricket fans from SL don't get the wrong idea about Australians from some of the umpires. So much respect for Murali :)
Ranatunga was not only a great captain but also a great team mate. He along with desilva were absolutely vital to the Sri Lankan team very early on. Ranatunga was a no nonsense cricketer, which many opponents didn’t like. But he stuck to his guns and without him SriLankan cricket wouldn’t be where it is
The Australians were not jealous of Murali. They knew he was a threat to Shane and had to be stopped by hook or by crook. A cricketer from a small nation of blacks holding the world record for wickets in test and one day matches was simply unthinkable.
@@boriskarloff9992 good thing your uneducated opinion is irrelevant then. Think people will take all those AUSTRALIAN AND ENGLISH university research over your neckbeard opinion lmao
What I admire most is the way Murali handled the situations both live and off the field. He never lost his cool and frustrated. He was methodical and logical in every matter.
Muralitharan and Sanath Jayasuriya are two giants of world cricket. You may hate them but you just HAVE to respect them. Game changers. Absolute legends. Monsters! Massive respect from a #TeamIndia fan.
No modern day bowler would have sustained so much allegations he is the true gentleman and one of the most accomplished cricketer and inspiring personality never seen him angry on field
@@roberttomko5350Aussies knew he was a threat... The whole thing should have handled in politically great manner but no they decided to call no ball and made a big drama out of it. I guess karma paid a great role and it backfired Aussies... He was standing for what is right and fought for it and tested in Australia to clear his name... No one would do that if he was really chuking and guilty...
Yes they come with different bowling action but despite of all odds, people like Murli, Saeed Ajmal are called Magician due to their pure cricketing skills, dedication & hard work. Salute them from India.
Prakash Moharana sorry to say but glad to see that u are in those few indian who only talk about cricket with sportsman spirit not like ohhhh he is pakjstani so he is a chuker like blah blah blah..... Respect from pak....
Ajmal is chucking....he is not magician...Murali is not chucking because his arms are bending through out the release of the ball but ajmal makes straight of his arms while delivering the ball,just don't tell like ajmal has clear action and Murali won't...
Prakash Ajmal had a suspicious action and he needed to change his action after that he was not same like he was before.Saqlain Mushtaq was a magician and inventor of doosra.Murali and Saqlain are in same legeaue
Two farewell almost made me cry since I am following cricket for about 25 years.One sachin's Farewell second Murali's farewell(on a serious Note)............I almost cried the third time when it was Afridi's Farewell but since I knew he will comeback so I hold my tears(Joooooking)#MuraliTheLegend#LoveFromPakistan.
Arjuna Ranatunga is the Captain you can trust and go to war with. If only he hadn't stood up every time Murali was bullied, the world would have lost a great athlete.
Greatest of All time, Murali's record will be like Bradmans cos it wont be broken ever especially with the arrival of T20 cricket you wont see classic bowlers like Murali or Warne ever
Imagine being this humble, yet so ruthless. What a wonderful athlete. I had the pleasure of watching his last years when I was in India. Great memories.
@@jacksmith3128 the umpire himself admitted that his accusations were pre-meditated due to the influence of an Australian Bookie. But yea carry on with your delusional claims. You people even call Malinga a chucker so there's no real hope in arguing with you
@@jacksmith3128 The umpire standing behind the stumps is not meant to be watching the bowlers action but the bowling crease. It is the square leg umpire who is mean to watch the bowlers action.
It was the golden era for both the team Lanka and the world cricket. Warne and Murali ruled the cricket world along with some other best bowlers in the world cricket. Right now things got different. It is difficult to highlight any good bowlers currently playing in the world cricket. Batsman's are getting good opportunity to play their favorite shots and scoring many runs. However it will make the spectators happy and attract many people to watch cricket, but in long terms it will effect the quality of the cricket.
Now would you look at this. Decades later murali is known as one of the best bowlers ever, whilst umpire Emerson is "best known for calling Sri Lankan off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan for throwing" as according to his profile on google. Passion and ethics wins in the end
Bullshit. The ICC made a new rule to accommodate his illegal deliveries. Passion and ethics? Do you even fuqn know what those words mean? Yeah, sure, he was passionately wrong and ethically a cheat.
Boris Karloff Hey if Muslim was white then I guess everything would had been fine... But the reality is that some of your Aussie legends now accept the fact that his action was a deformity of his bowling arm... Nevertheless he owns the record... So you can go on spewing the racist venom of yours... By the way I am from India and I guess you have watched the test series between India and Australia... Tables are turned now mate... 😂😂
You know, I think that the controversy was a hidden blessing. I think that the people who called Murali a chucker was really a test of his passion for the game. The way he went into the tests with his confidence showed that he loved cricket more than anything and he wasn't going to let what other people saw stop him. Because he knew bloody well that he wasn't chucking.
Murali is a master! When I started playing I always thought to play him.. Never made to that level. I just loved the way he bowled! Magic on every ball! One in million years. Love from India! God bless all!
He was always underestimate because of his action that was legitimate nevertheless. Greatest off spinner of all times. Had he been born in Australia or England, he would have been named as greatest but biased people tried their level best to ruin him. Still great Murli resurrected out of the ashes of jealousy.
@@boriskarloff9992 So you know better than than the bioscientists and ICC officials and everyone else and number of tests they carried out. wow you must be legend in your country.
@@GilgameshBB Well we all know that the were rules changed for him. We couldn't have such a 'successful' bowler being banned from the game. THE RULES WERE CHANGED FOR HIM TO BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE BOWLING HIS WHAT WERE ONCE ILLEGAL DELIVERIES. As the Meerkat says, "Simples". Plus if SL didn't so regularly beat-up on Bangladesh his record would be much lower. See how many times SL have played BD as compared to ther test playing countries. MM's record drops markedly in "wickets per tests" when the BD results are taken out. My position, in this discussion, has merit.
@@boriskarloff9992 Then you must also should know according to those rules even Macgrath' s bowling action was illegal ( as I can remember he bends up to 13 degrees). and If you're going to merit wickets depending on the country why stop in there ? You can also consider whether its a tailender or not or how many games have the player played or I don't know whether the batsman couldn't had his banana in the morning. Boris wicket is a wicket at the end of the day nothing less nothing more. so it will be 800 test wickets for Murali and 92 wickets ahead from the second best even though playing lesser number of games than him.
@@GilgameshBB you've confused Lee for McGrath. Lee bent his arm when pushing for over a 150kmh. McGrath's action was pure. Lee was suspect, guilty even, as was Shoab Aktar. Also MM beat up on Bangladesh. Remove Bangladesh statistics from all bowlers and MM is less than SW's figures. Sri Lanka has played way more tests against Bangladesh than anyone. They 'artificially' make t hemselves look better. Sangakarra's record also looks weaker if you remove the Bangladesh results. Still MM's results wouldn't have been as good if they didn't change the RULES to suit his defective action. And don't give me shit about he was born that way. So bloody what?
The only bowler who would make you belive an illusion.... That's the height of competence a spinner bowler can get... Guess what he is yhe one and only one...
Murali,Sangkkara, Jayawardene these three players from Sri Lanka's will always remain in the heart of the people of cricket and the fans. Players from the Lanka's are always been so much humble and have the gentle expression.
I remember when ever he was bowling I was like India gonna loose at any moment. What a great bowler he was his fear extends cricket grounds to opponent supporters.
It's March 2020 and I still say murali is a gem...no words can describe this legend...m glad i got to to see see this champ in ma teens....salute sir...respect from India...much luv...tnx
The action his absolutely legal and he is a legend but I feel sad how u can embarres such a legend but I got inspired how he remain focussed and fought out of it and proven averyone wrong HATS OFF
