The biometric system is flawed Alison. When Muralitheran (or any bowler for that matter) is brought in for testing, do you honestly think the bowler will give his arm the full flex as they would in a test match situation? Of course not. They are aware they are being tested so they obviously make a special effort to keep their arms as straight as possible - they would be stupid not to would'nt they.
If Muralitheran bends his arm 14 degrees during biometric testing, one can only imagine how far he bends that arm of his when trying to win a test for his country.
We all know the real deal on the Muralitheran issue. It still surprises me that people still attempt to defend his action though.
