Read the rules, the umpire is required to call a bowler for throwing if he is
not convinced of the legality of the delivery. Muralidharan's action is
sufficiently strange that I would find it tough to believe that anyone can be
completely convinced that it is legal with the *** eye. I believe that his
action is legal.

Nope, Muralidharan didn't bowl any leg breaks in the Perth test match which was
where Hair called him. He bowled leg breaks in a one day match (I believe it was
in Brisbane) and was called by Emerson.
