I'm not one to believe everything that is said, just like how they say meat stays too long in the body and isn't all that good, which if was true, my father for one would probably have been a dead man by now.
 
I'm going by what I see in super slow mo, and for some bowlers there isn't no kinking of the arm.  As I said, maybe the tests detects what happens inside, which obviously I wouldn't be able to see from the slow mo replays.  I know what I saw and I certainly didn't see no chucking from some of the bowlers.
 
And I'm not having a go at Murali buddy, initially I thought he was a chucker but lately I've gone back on that, his elbow can't fully straighten (some can go behind the perpendicular, some can't, not all humans are the same) and that can cause a bit of illusion.  But is often the case, a side on view of super slow mo replay can tell and I haven't seen one of him so if there's a little chuck I wouldn't know.
In troubled times, being philosophical helps a great deal, it helps you to remain sane and not do any further damage.

Murali's action is visibly illegal, while someone like Suleiman Benn's action, another spinner, is visibly legal.
Ideal cricketer: Bowl like Warne, bat like Tendulkar, field like Jonty!!

There are some run out which are visibly "out", but actually aren't, when referred to the 3rd umpire

That is because the human eye is such an insensitive piece of equipment when it comes to detecting 3D action on a 2D screen.

Best spinners I have seen:
-Shane Warne, Murali, Kumble, Vettori, Saqlain Mushtaq, Harbhajan (just barely makes the list).

I don't remember seeing much of Mushtaq Ahmed and Kaneria is very inconsistent.

Among the older player no one seems to have mentioned Chandresekar. I always heard he was the best among the Indian spin quartet.

It's questionable whether Barnes should be considered a spinner. Also, can't see how Grimmet and O'Reilly are above Warne, those rare few who have seen all 3 rate Warne as the best (e.g. Richie Benaud). A lot of commentators also think Qadir is rather overrated, he was certainly the precursor for Warne though when it comes to leg break bowling.

Sydney Barnes basically developed the leg and off cutter - i.e. fast spin. That's not really spin bowling.
