    It doesn't help when you're up against dodgy umpires and two chuckers

    Based on the fact that half the wickets Sri Lanka lost were never out in a million years, I'd say it evened itself out.

    Malinga's got a completely straight arm, not sure how he's a chucker.
    Murali's is debatable but its been checked several times.

    Two of Sri Lankas wickets were clearly not out,the umpires gave one of the worst performances in an international for a long time.Murali is a chucker,how he's been cleared by the ICC is baffling in a cricket sense but politically explainable.I bet Geoff Cope wishes he was playing now.
    Malinga the Slinger whilst technically his arm is straight his action ,like under arm bowling ,is not in the spirit of the law ,being waist height at times on delivery.

    I read that as "I bet Geoff Capes wishes he was playing"!
