Rallying behind fellow off-spinner Muthiah Muralitharan, Harbhajan Singh said it was unfair to question the Sri Lankan after he had perched himself as the highest Test wicket-taker.
"It's not fair to question a bowler after he has played for so many years and taken over 520 wickets. If you have a problem, question him at the start of his career," Harbhajan Singh told a television channel.
"It is difficult to take 500 wickets even in 'gully' cricket. Murali has taken so many in Test cricket and even then he has to face such allegations. I don't think it is right," said the bowler, who has recovered from the finger injury that kept him out of international cricket for the past five months.
Murali's 'doosra'âan off spinner's wrong 'unâhas been prohibited by the International Cricket Council.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Per ICC, Murali chucks while bowling doosra so Murali should not bowl doosra.
Per Shivlal Yadav, you *cannot* bowl a doosra without bending your arm - aka chucking. Other bowlers who 'bowl' a doosra - Suck-lame and Bhajji.
Per Howard, Aussi PM, Murali is Chucker.
Per SriLankan PM, this is a national issue and they r going to sue ICC.
Per Indian ambassador to SL, India will lend its support to SL on Murali affair..
Per Murali, he will boycott Aus tour.
Oh boy.. <!--emo&
