Speaking to 'CNN-IBN' Prasanna said, "Looking at one side of the coin, he has been cleared and what not. The fact of the matter still remains that the ICC has bent the rule for him."
"Looking at one side of the coin, he has been cleared and what not. The fact of the matter still remains that the ICC has bent the rule for him," Prasanna said.
"Had I taken 800 wickets, I would have been happy about the effort. So Murali should have looked at it that way," he added.
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.
Former India spinners Erapalli Prasanna and Maninder Singh came out in defence of Bishan Singh Bedi, saying ICC bent the rules for Muralitharan's sake.

"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.

India's famous spin quartet heh?
ReplyDeletenothing but poodles who looked liked bears because of useless dust bowls made specially for the...Murali, Warne and Kumble are a dozen times grater that these guys...
and the fact is EVERY bowler chucks..McGrath, Pollock , Murali everyone..tests have proved it...so by all means Bedi chucked himself, just that the Science wasn't there to test him
