This gives you a little bit of a feel for the arm moving in 3D. From
atleast one angle the arm almost does not look bent (even though it
is. around the 1 minute to iminute 10 sec mark). Also at the point of
release the arm does not appear to be completely straight. One wonders
how much it has helped batsmen him having to explain his bowling all
the time. Giving the batsmen a lot of looks on how to read him.

Usually the angle employed in matches is from behind the bowler...
sometimes they will show side on. Each bowlers arm takes a different
trajectory so the bend will appear to be maximum from different angles
for different bowlers. Some bowlers arms would appear to have a max
bent when thecamera angle is such that it is looking at the bowler
from the "short" cover but such an angle is hardly used.
Fact: Murali claimed his deformity from birth precluded him from
chucking.
Fact: Murali claimed he did not straighten his arm.
Fact: Murali now says he does straighten his arm, but in allowable
limits - now.
Fact: Until the laws changes, Murali was a cheat.
Opinion: Now the laws have changed, pretending that a man that throws
the ball by 14.4 degrees under optimum conditions, knowing he's being
watched, doesn't throw under match conditions is either fundamentally
stupid or corrupt.
Your call.
