Senanayake banned

[Burgey]

Dont know why Australia is investing money in this technology. No Australian has chucked since Ian Meckiff, and he was banned immediately after being called by our own umpires; a further sign of our fairness an impartiality.

We just don't do it. The lesser nations do in order reach parity with the likes of us, but we don't. Waste of money.

 

[zaremba]

That's just a picture of him bowling with a kink in his arm tbf, don't think zaremba's trying to say that was his doosra

Dunno what he was "bowling". Just thought it would brighten the mood to see a picture of Sonny R.

36-43 degrees haha I always thought it was a filthy action, but wow

What's the record? That Australian bloke Gannon was close to 30 but can't remember anything this bad.

Holy crap. If this guy is around 36 I shudder to think how bad some of his predecessors were.

you mean his predecessors that were tested by the same methods and came out below the 15 degree mark?

Here are some examples of recently banned non-SL spinners just-in-case there is the false idea out there that the ICC has a specific vendetta against SL;

Shillingford can resume bowling but without doosra: ICC

West Indies’ Shane Shillingford was today allowed by the ICC to resume bowling in international after undergoing remedial work but the off-spinner has been barred from bowling his ‘doosra’ delivery.

Shillingford was reported at the end of second day’s play in the Mumbai Test against India in November and was tested on November 29 last year at the UWA.

All his delivery types were assessed as illegal and he was suspended from bowling in international cricket, and subsequently underwent remedial work to modify his action.
ICC said that Shillingford’s off-break and arm balls were re-tested at the University of Western Australia (UWA) in Perth on March 4 and the elbow extension measured for each of his deliveries was within the 15-degree level of tolerance permitted under the ICC Regulations for the Review of Bowlers Reported with Suspected Illegal Bowling Actions.

“Shillingford has confirmed that he will no longer bowl the Doosra. Therefore, his Doosra will remain an illegal delivery and he cannot bowl it in international cricket,” an ICC release said.

Shillingford’s bowling action will continue to be scrutinised by match officials to ensure it remains legal, according to ICC.

Botha's doosra has Perth chucking mad

Adelaide Strikers captain Johan Botha's controversial bowling action has come under more scrutiny after he delivered two doosras - his ball outlawed by the ICC - during the win over the Perth Scorchers on New Year's Eve.

Botha was banned from bowling doosras in 2009 after testing at the University of WA revealed that he could not deliver the unorthodox ball without bending his arm more than the allowed 15 degrees.

But the South African twice used the delivery in Perth's innings during the match at Adelaide Oval on Tuesday night.

Television commentators Adam Gilchrist and Tom Moody referred to Botha using the doosra while delivering to Scorchers player Nathan Coulter-Nile.......

And surprise-surprise both bannings involve the Doosra.

And surprise-surprise both bannings involve the Doosra.

Shillingford was initially banned for his stock offspinner too. But he did remedial work and had it cleared.

Kane Williamson doesn't bowl a doosra but is being tested.

40 degrees plus. How did the bloke get to international cricket without being called into question domestically? 40 degrees! He's a ****ing javelin thrower

Better question is how did he pass his first test? Did he decide, like an Econ Ph.D. student at graduation, to say "Now the rules say what I want them to say!"?

He was cleared in 2011 before he played international cricket, the real question is how the entire Sri Lankan camp were confident that his action hadn't changed since then when his elbow has began flexing at least 20 degrees more than it used to

Yeah but testing them in real time is less flawed. Both cost and efficiency are taken into account I'm sure.

Best of both worlds -- test every international bowler over a 4 year World Cup cycle, those who straighten >14 degrees in testing being forced into wearing real-time tech in a handful of games?

If you can go from <14 degrees of straightening in the lab to >15 in a game without being called up for 'non-representative bowling', then congrats, you've hacked the system.

The bar should be set on effort balls. Let the fast bowlers dish that 90mph bouncer they pull out of nowhere. For me deliberate chucking is the real cheating while people who just chucks everything is due to poor coaching. It is important to rule out chuckers, but the real ones to crack down is the ones who have "clean" actions but chucks when they dish out effort balls or something different.

 

[Burgey]

I don't know many fast bowlers who pull a 90mph bouncer out of nowhere tbh. Most of the blokes who dish hat sort of stuff out are generally pretty lively all over.

Are you saying the bloke who chucks once every two overs when he strives for extra pace like Courtney Walsh used to is worse than the off spinner who chucks every ball?

Of course he is. He's CW's angel of destruction, sent to destroy the reputation of all great non-Sri Lankan bowlers with his flaming sword of corpulent dirge.

Cricket's not played in a lab ;-)

 

[jonbrooks]

If Ajmal/Murali can work within the tolerance range then I don't see why anyone else shouldn't be able to

In a lab perhaps. On the field ... not so sure. :-)

 

[Maximas]

Well then it's a shame that the ICC relies on bowlers being honest and bowling with the same action in the lab then, it's not like they check it stringently against match footage or anything
