Vaughan trolling Ajmal

as opposed to dumping a Taips

Dump England from the ICC for what? I know it was my main man Bucky's wild-eyed colonial hate, but what induced it? Chuckers getting banned for chucking?

Chuckers banned for chucking will include almost all off spinners w/doosra. And you can't bowl a doosra without a slight elbow bend.

Now just don't bend it like Ajmal. That's all.

I still don't get your point, if they're chucking, they're chucking. If it looks dodgy real-time, the likelihood is that they're pinging. Which is illegal and an insult to all the bowlers who toiled without resorting to cheating.

Or Beckham.

Which Indian chucker plays international cricket nowadays? Ollie Rayner?

Harbhajan and Ojha.

Neither plays international cricket these days... yes, they need to be banned, but only after Rayner, just to see the shitstorm that ensues that these two aren't banned first.

So it's okay to chuck until the WC.

i expect post wc taips will continue to make many of us have a hurl

As one of the commenters points out, it's interesting that in the photo for this article, Ajmal's right arm appears to be pretty much straight:

So what's all this bullshit about a permanently bent arm? Yes, i know I'm breaking my own rule trying to judge the straightness or otherwise of bowlers arms from a 2D photo but that does look pretty straight doesn't it?

indeed ... he actually meant that his arm was permanently bent while bowling, with only the angle of the bend changing

And another one bites the dust.

Utseya nailed in Cardiff. Would he have passed in Perth?

Bucky may be a touch wierd, but he has a point. The doosra requires a flick with the wrists that can only make it to the end of the pitch with propulsion from the arm from the elbow up.

Which is why many believe it cannot be bowled without chucking.

https://imgur.com/a/oV6Rs gallery of offspinners I found over at reddit. Murali looks pretty clean compared to the rest bar Lyon and Ashwin. Senanayake is disgraceful. Wasn't enough of Saqlain to really make a judgement.

nice link

the ICC is in banning chuckers mode rather than enabling them ...UWA (with the ICCs blessing) enabled Murali by putting up the 15 degree interpretation ... I'm sure they'd be happy banning bowlers if the ICC wants them to

Did they actually ban anyone? Didn't Ajmal pass at Perth?

They banned Botha from bowling his doosra in 09

And how many times has he been reported since then?

several

That link is pretty damning. Murali looks fine until you see it side on from the bowlers end. Wearing Arnie's shirts helps too. I'd love to see some angles from the sq leg umpire's perspective.

Bishan Bedi speaking sense as ever

Been quite active recently. Also about 2020 killing spinners.

Bishen Bidet should be good at cleaning out the spin fraternity's nether bits.

Pragyan Ojha gets done.
