Blame the ICC. Get them to ban chuckers. All chuckers. Fast or slow.

And remove them from the record books.

He was chucking , Taips
I have no doubt at all about it

Glad to see a few Aussies on here agree.
No doubt Tait was chucking.
Disctinct jerk at the top of delivery .. both the elbow and the cocked wrist - unlike Lasith Malinga whose action is smooth throughout.

And what's with the heavily taped elbow ... some form of disguise to put off the Ump?

He slings all of them, and chucks some of them. It has always been his way.

Anyone remember the stink the Aussies kicked up when New Zealand suggested that Tait was a chucker a year ago?

I haven't seen him recently...

Hopefully Tait will get on a tour to Sri Lanka, where the Lankan crowd can get revenge for Murali. 'No Ball'

No. Doesn't seem to have been much discussion on here about it at that time either.

Shaun trying to match Shoaib

What more do cricket fans want? this is GREAT.

I know nothing of these speed guns, but it seems unlikely they are accurate to within 0.1 kph.

I hope Shoaib keeps the record. At least he actually wants to play tests.

I think it was because most of the Aussies here agreed he chucked.
