Test Pakistan v England (3 Test Matches)

[Bradesmaen]

Dumb as bazball striking again. 47 matches and Crawley has an average of 32.2. Shaun Pollock has a better average.

They changed the law because everyone was breaking it.
Literally everyone.

The controversy of Murali - and to some extent Saqlain when he started bowling his doosra as well brought it to a real head - but it was after that study that they changed the law because as it stood, every bowler in the world was breaking it regularly.

But if memory serves - don’t quote me on it, but I think Murali was at the higher end of the scale (am genuinely not certain of that but I think he was) in terms of how much he broke the existing allowance by, and when they changed the law, they made sure that it was changed by enough to include virtually everyone in the study including him.

lol.

Tell me you know nothing without telling me you know nothing. PhatBoy classic strikes again.

Did the alarm go off again mate? Someone tug your jeans and let you know that someone was within Australian maritime borders and talking cricket without slagging off a player from overseas?

Ill give you my name and address if you want to turn me in to the authorities.


I’ve literally said IN MY POST that essentially they ‘just happened’ to set the new allowance for how much the arm could straighten to align with what would allow Murali’s action to be legal, implying that they set their new limit in order to keep him under their parameters.

Oh but I’m just making this up.

Me and Wisden, anyway.

Idiot.

Bending the rules: When the ICC discovered almost every bowler in cricket history had an illegal action

A look back to the time when the ICC realised (almost) every bowler in the world had an illegal action, and decided to change one of cricket’s most controversial rules, incorporating the current 15-degree flexion limit of the bowling arm.

You said literally everyone. In that link it even says not everyone. So aggressive.

Aside from Ramnaresh Sarwan- who I addressed right from the start, who was a part timer, who had a test bowling average in the 50s.

So yeah, for the purpose to the argument, it may as well have been literally everyone because we are discussing specialist bowlers.

No need to get your knickers in a twist because someone isn’t in some far flung corner of the internet praising an Australian who may or may not have just taken 3-67 in a domestic carnival somewhere.

Go back to Corowa and chuck your mask on mate.
