However it is clear that these comments are defamatory and meant to harm the reputation earned by Murali."Let's not forget that Muralitharan has been subject to many tests conducted by the ICC with the aid of experts. Muralitharan's bowling action has found to be legal and is within the allowed tolerance level."So I wonder why people continue to harp on about this unfairly as Murali has always proved to the world that he has done no wrong."  shocked   Muralitharan is the second highest Test wicket-taker in the history of the game behind Shane Warne.</blockquote>
