“…shut his trap…”
@ Punita, that is really very funny….. lol…
for some reason, bedi reminds me of Big B of the 70s, always angry, vigilante behaviour, thinks the burden of the cricket society is on his shoulders…
I am not sure how potent bishen’s balls were (pun intended), if you go by angad bedi… lol… no further elaboration…

Bedi is just a bitter arsehole, more so because his son was blushing whilst interviewing Murali during the IPL, claiming to be his biggest fan… I agree that Murali timed his comment wrong… he should have asked Bedi to shut his trap a good 10-15 years ago…

There is one point that’s worth noting regards to murali’s bowling action,
in the pre-controversy days,if one notices the position of the wrist before he winds up to release the ball (when the wrist is at the hips), the wrist position was such that the thumb pointed towards the ground and the palm used to face the off side and no wonder he used to extract far more turn those days.
But, post-controversy, the action changed such that the thumb pointed up towards the sky and the palm pointed towards the on-side.
If his action was squaky clean to start with, why did he change it (to a bio-mechanically less effective action)?

There just isn’t any controversy here. Bedi, like so many others in Delhi are, is a typical loud mouth. They just don’t care about what they say and how they say, particularly when most of the time they seem to be expressing their wisdom in an inebriated condition. Any rebuttal therefore is taken in the right “spirit” and life goes on while the media makes merry.

…Who cares what he says” and the dismissal of Bedi as a no-body would have drawn blood”.

Great Lesson. Why indulge in mud fight with a pig. But then some claim silence as lack of arguments to refute. Would love to learn skills to silence mindless critics, bent on spoiling other’s efforts.

I think a Dhoni would have handled it better… his remarks are very smart and light on the surface but if you dig deep, you know he’s taken his victim left, right and centre.. like the one he made about the Australian media after the whole Bhajji-Symonds-Monkey controversy.

Nice post!
