Me too - the one that mystifies me is ice hockey - seems like
legalised manslaughter.

Hadn't noticed a yellow cast but you could be right.  The venue has a
roof that can be closed (as it was on this occasion) and the lights
might not be daylight balanced.

The word 'throw' is not one that a bowler likes to hear (particularly
Murali, who has had his problems in that area over the years, mainly
from the umpire standing right behind him here).  A bowler is
supposed to 'bowl' the ball with a more or less straight arm. 
'Throwing' is definately not something to be encouraged.

Apart from that, you obviously know more about cricket that you're
letting on.....
