Well, in order.

It's already a farce, and has been for a while.

A few critics includes Bishin Bedi, one of the best offspinners there ever was.

ICC has declared chucking to be legal, as long as you keep it to fifteen degrees.

Yep, that's true. Australia have as many slow left arm and orthodox spin talents as usual (viz : none. Lol Hauritz) and no decent leggies (true about most of the time ... erm, Benaud, Warne and Macgill covers it for decent leggies since O'Reilly. Lol Jim Higgs. Lol Peter Sleep).

And my personal view ... same as Richard Loe. I think Murali is too good a player to lower himself by cheating.
