Gilchrist Raised Issue of Ball chucking:

Former Australian player Adam Gilchrist raised the issue of ball chucking by Sri Lankan spinner Muttiah Muralitharan in his autobiography True Colors. He also raised the question about the action of Murali. The former player also lamented that Murali can straighten his arm with in the allowed range.

Murali was facing the action problems during the mid 90’s cricket seasons. He continues that back in 1995-96 when Darrell Hair and Ross Emerson no-balled him in Australia. Every time the issue regarding Murali bowling was raised in Australia by the Australians. But the Sri Lankan authorities gave a new color to the issue what they called it racial attack between White and Black.

Gilli said the ICC had to change the rules to avoid such issue and to accommodate Murali. So, the issue is that Politics is involved in cricket by some means. I personally think that ICC rules must be so strict that no one can raise such issues. I think that this is the nature of Australian to blame any player specially the Asians. They only believe that the rules and ethics are only for them. Any political issue regarding cricket is raised form Australia. Now no one knows what actually happened? Either Murali can straighten his arm of he had protected himself by saying “racial attack”.
