Murali’s elbow

Did Mark Richardson really have so little to talk about after the test that he had to rehash the Murali chucking whine? Or was he just courting some controversy?

We’ve all watched Murali, looking for some elbow bending. And of course, all I can see is bending. And a lot of flipping and a lot of rotating. A lot of rotating. Like 180 degrees. Which is the whole point of Murali’s action. The bend and the rotating gives him a big arc which added to his wrist flipping gives him torque on the ball. That bend is crucial. So why would he straighten?
