MURALI-REAX 2LST

Another former Indian left-arm spinner Maninder Singh
said Bedi could have also taken a lot of wickets if he was
allowed to bend his arm.
"If he (Bedi) was allowed to bend his arm by ICC, he
would have taken 5 wickets in every of the 67 matches that he
played in his career. Murali should keep his mouth shut
really," he said.
"Whole world knows that he has the licence from the ICC
to keep chucking and that's why he started his 'doosra'.
Nobody stopped him. Wickets started increasing for him. It's
best time for Murali to keep shut.
"He should understand he is talking about such a great
bowler Bedi. I don't think he is doing justice to himself. I
have lost respect for him after this verbal attack", Maninder
said.
Former Australian skipper Steve Waugh felt Muralitharan
had been very patient about the constant criticism of Bedi and
must have finally vented it out Wednesday.
"Bishen has been very strong in his criticism about
Murali. I don't necessarily agree to what he said but I think
Murali must have held his tongue for 15 years and just gave it
back today," Waugh said. PTI
