Murali has to do this to get his wrist around so the ball spins the right way for those balls.
It is a farce the rules have been changed to accomodate him, and others who bowl like that. In Murali's defence he is no orphan as I believe every orthodox spinner, who bowls toppies, let alone the new doosra, have at some point in their careers chucked the odd one or three.
it is accentuated in chest on orthodox spinners, like Botha and Murali,
I know for a fact (a colleague of mine is coaching the Bangla's U/19 team) that spinners liek Murali are everywhere on the sub continent.
Murali would be OK if he was restricted to changes of flight and speed around his normal orthodox off breaks.

Hey, it was Australia Day - people tend to have more time to post things.
What prompted me to post this was seeing that doosra in slow motion. At the very least he should be banned from bowling this, instead the I.C.C changed the rules for him! I'm sure if an Australian did chuck the ball he wouldn't be accomodated for. (Well not at least before the rule was changed). Oh hang on a minute, that was Ian Meckiff.
It's a well worn gripe but seeing that slo-mo, makes me want to go over it again.

No matter what you think of Warne at least he is stopping a bloody chucker being the world's leading wicket taker.
