SPIN

BULAWAYO, Zimbabwe, May 13 (AFP) - Sri Lanka's spin bowling wizard Muttiah Muralitharan is approaching the second Test against Zimbabwe at Queens Sports Club here in an unhappy frame of mind.
Gone is the euphoria at taking 521 Test career wickets at Harare last Saturday, which took him past West Indian Courtney Walsh's previous record of 519.
In its place is pent-up frustration at having his bowling action tested once more and in particular the University of Western
Australia declaring his recently invented ball the "doosra" illegal.
Muralitharan was quoted in press reports here Thursday as saying: "Why don't they test other spin bowlers around the world - why just me? All I want is a fair deal. I feel is if I am being unjustly harassed."

The reason they don't test other spin bowlers, and that you feel unjustly harassed Murali, is that you are a cheating bastard who shouldn't be allowed to ever walk onto a cricket pitch again, while they are not. Your "action" is so laughably illegal even the NPC in their most creative mode would be unable to "reinterpret" the rules of cricket to accomodate it.

The only reason you are still allowed to play is that without you the Sri Lankan bowling attack would make Zimbabwes look all-powerful, and Sri Lanka have powerful allies in the ICC.

When I am Emperor of the Universe every wicket you have ever taken will be erased from the records and you will take your rightful place at the top of the list of the worlds greatest cheats.

No hard feelings though eh.
