You have to laugh, IMO Murali chucked everything but ICC said his wrist rotation went beyond 130° or something.Mail wrote:Ha ha ha.... now that is funny.Gils wrote:ICC say, no more chucking.
Just when I was getting use to it......
However there is an important point in this hilarity as for those of a certain age, they will know no better and perhaps wonder what is all the fuss about!!!
That was fair enough but now bowlers with no worse actions get called left, right and centre after years of international cricket smh.
That cant help with perception to casual observers, nows it probably looks like anything goes, closed shop style.

for younger fans T20 is normal cricket
I couldn't stand Crofts far from fluid action but with the advent of rule changes and 4 over bowlers he wouldn't look out of place now.
" Things aint what they use to be " = change is the only constant, in cricket as in life.

It is inevitable though, so I see no point fighting it.
They wanna let Murali " bowl " cool, ban Shilly and Narine, be my guest ICC its your game.
I'll try to enjoy what I think is good and let them sweat the changes.

My take on these disturbing Narine developments is this:
I aint 100% sure is a plot as some have sugested, although you could never be sure with India. One thing is for sure, a lot of bowlers for a long time has been chucking for a whiles since ICC set up that 15 degree rule thing. Ajmal was the chief culprit, so I glad ICC start the crackdown, since it was becoming a global joke.
Umpires now clearly have been told to be brave enough & call any bowler who they think looking iffy in their eyes.
The umpires could still be wrong, once Narine goes is tested we could hear that his other deliveries outside the quicker ball. Cause Narine along with Ashwin is the two "mystery spinners" in the game who I would say bowl with clean action.
Speaking to some of my India media friends, some have even suggested that the BCCI has rested Ashwin from the current ODI series vs India because they want to heat on mystery spinners to cool down, before he plays again.
Narine also should stop bowling with long sleeves.
