Maybe we will get Aussie umpires. They seem shit hot on chucking recently.

TBF, CA's legislation seems totally different to the ICC's.

Is that in response to the Botha citing?

Amongst others.

A fair chance given they make up one third of the panel... and the four clowns that make up the Ashes Panel will surely be having a rest (well, two of them aren't eligible for this series anyway).

..Botha is the most obvious chucker since mumu...he needs to be out of the game ...the saffies made a fair call on him

I have no problem with that. If you chuck then you must go. I will be waiting for an Aussie umpire to have the balls to call Ajmal, who is even more blatant.

Botha seems to be playing today as a non bowling/chucking specialist captain...the pity for Botha is that he seems to possess v good leadership skills

Researching chucking I came across this article:

The top comment is priceless.

I'm just waiting for the appointment ....

Must be a bullshit wind-up, unless you haven't actually seen Saeed Ajmal.

Looking like they are using the same concrete pitches as last time.

..no not a wind up but have not seen Ajmal at the ground...but have watched Botha at the ground a couple of times ...have seen Ajmal on the telly...he's as straight as a spiv

Ajmal, Botha, and Harbhajan are all blatant chuckers. Ojha is jerky as well. And I've constantly been amazed at how Kyle Mills has gone under the radar for so long. Perhaps it's because he's a Kiwi and no one cares. The Indian connection (Harbhajan and Ojha), and the massive sook-fest there would be if the ICC banned them, is what's preventing them from taking action against other bowlers. Other Boards would argue that Harbhajan and Ojha should be banned if their guy is. Domestic bowlers like Botha can still get reported, but the ICC won't touch international bowlers anymore.

it is a profoundly depressing state of affairs

True, Ir was far too pathetic to be classified as a wind up.

That's an unfortunate typo

Ta

hehehe

So, because you've seen someone at the ground, 80 yards away, that classes him as the biggest chucker since Murali?

Awesome logic.

Doesn't look like Fox Sports are showing this in Aus. Unless they put it on one of their 'extra' channels.

Some real cricket at last - TFFT
