Gollum Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Caught a few glimpses of the initial overs, unfortunately because it was playing in the mess Harbhajan Singh is chucking, it doesn't get more blatant than that. This is the sort of stunt we pull off in local gully tennis ball matches. Are the umps blind? Cat got commie tongues? What does this inaction say about the league? Pathetic, downright embarrassing to watch a javelin thrower plying his trade. speedheat, Rasgulla, Mariyam and 4 others 2 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowl_out Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 He wasn't called for chucking for over a decade that he played for India. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pollack Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Why no complain when he played for India? Overall agreed though he needs to be tested for chucking. Rasgulla, beetle and UrmiSinhaRay 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you know my posting history I also complained when he played for India. Even when it came to talking about the 2001 Aus series I have made posts about how his chucking helped us win.

As for the rest of your post: This is the IPL. Harbhajan exists to entertain. No one cares if its chucking or not. Makes no difference in the bigger scheme of things.

Actually I may have to bear with 20-30 minutes of IPL daily. My friends are IPL fans and the mess we go to for dinner has a TV where they show IPL, same happened last year too So yeah whilst I may try to avoid the dark side, a few moments and memories do seep into my protesting cerebrum. I will use that as a weapon and troll my friends, troll ICFers and open a few rant threads every now and then . Quote As for the rest of your post: This is the IPL. Harbhajan exists to entertain. No one cares if its chucking or not. Makes no difference in the bigger scheme of things. Lady Yam, this is cricket and every cricket game has to follow standard rules. Is this a tacit admission on your part that IPL ain't cricket ? Maybe ask the bowlers to simulate Rajini dance moves in their run up in the future and let us have stand up comedy gigs by the batsmen and umpires during time outs....more avenues for entertainment.

Mariyam Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) @Gollum Allow me to explain. This is isn't cricket. This is cricketainment. If you think the slapgate, the spot fixing gate and Sahara's land grab for the Pune stadium weren't all fixed. You are kidding yourself. What next? You will say that you really believe that Americans really landed on the moon and not a studio in Arkansas. Chucking if entertaining is of more value in the IPL than world class bowling that bores.

ShoonyaSifar Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 BCCI banned Narine for chucking in IPL and before the final of CLT20. But Bhajji has had a free run even under the fairly stringent bending rules ICC has been implementing since 2014. Always been a mystery how he escapes. Earlier it was just his doosra now even normal offies are chucks. UrmiSinhaRay and Gollum 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off topic but What do you intend to say here... That they just landed in a studio in Arkansas... If you think so, pls do not make it a fact and mix that with your analogies of tamasha premier league... and spoil your otherwise witty comment.
