Muttiah Muralitharan is indeed a man with a golden arm, a rare case of a bowler called repeatedly for throwing but cleared by the ICC on the strength of expert medical and biomechanical opinion. The controversy over his bowling action apart, 'Murali' has redefined the art and science of off spin bowling, with his unique action and phenomenal ability to turn the ball on any surface. Add his highly developed killer instinct, unrelenting accuracy, and ever-increasing variations, and you have a world beater, destined to be the highest wicket taker among spinners in the history of cricket.
