Muralitharan breaks the record - but does he cheat?

    So Muralitharan took his 709th Test wicket today (England's Paul Collingwood) to overtake Australia's Shane Warne and become the leading Test wicket taker of all time. But no matter what the authorities say I've always had my doubts about his action. Yes I know he's been cleared and his arm doesn't (apparently) bend during delivery - but it just LOOKS wrong.

    Still reckon Warne is the better bowler.

    Actually the ICC softened the rules as to how many degrees the elbow can bend. No bowler can bowl a doosra without bending the elbow. As of now his action is legally correct

    he is no doubt a great bowler! difficult for any batsman to predict

    and if ICC had not softened the rules, many bowlers including him were out of scene!
