Firstly, last night shows the conundrum players like Maxwell and Finch present. Erratic at best they provide an X-Factor that can deliver wins against the tide in difficult conditions. If only they could do so consistently, but then I suppose it wouldn't be an X-Factor.
100% agree, it's all Dav Whatmore's fault, he played the racism card when Muralitharan was been called and now the cat is out of the bag and the offending bowlers doing this can turn it on and off at will. Nobody thinks Murali is the same quality "bowler" as a player like Warne, not even the equal of greats of the past like Bedi or Qadir

Yep, I'm totally old school on this as well and I don't like it. I suspect he's within the permissible 15 degrees, but with my bowling coach hat on, he's straightening his arm, which is throwing. I bet it gets more apparent as he strives for pace or tries variation balls where his wrist becomes more mobile (running down the seam etc).
