ravishingravi Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 the arm can be bent legally upto a limit. doesn't have to be completely straight. That limit has only come into place to accomodate this ball.
Blueraphael Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Well, legally it can...there is the 15 degrees rule. It is next to impossible to get the ball across 22 yards without bending the arm. Some people, like Holding and Bedi think that those who bowl the doosra are chuckers but its fine by me. With the game tilted so heavily in the favour of the batsman, giving some leeway to the bowler is not a problem for me. Plus, with the all the videos available today, any good batsman won't have a whole lot of trouble picking it up.
thongale Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 That limit has only come into place to accomodate this ball.You are wrong:finger:
thongale Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 And Holding was one of the members of the ICC panel who looked in to bowling actions. By that time he never said something like this.
Sir_Afridi Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 To me it looks like chucking too. How come nobody has ever questioned Saqlain action ??
Cricket Tragic Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 I agree with Holding. Some of the bowling actions these days are ridiculous.
Cricket Tragic Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Holding is missing out on all the IPL money. Suddenly he is against everybody. Great Player though. I hope SRT doesn't become like him post cricket. :headshake:
vvvslaxman Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 How come nobody has ever questioned Saqlain action ?? If he is bowling still, he would have been under the gun. He just got away when not many people didn't look at it that way. Let me put this way. If Johan Botha were to be bowling in that era he would have gotten away as well.
ganeshran Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 IMO Saqlain made good effort to keep his arm straight while bowling the doosra. Nowadays bowlers are blatantly chucking.
Cricket Tragic Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Has anyone watched Williamson bowl? The most obvious chucker. He isn't a bowler so it doesn't matter so much but he shouldn't be allowed to bowl.
Sir_Afridi Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 If he is bowling still' date=' he would have been under the gun. He just got away when not many people didn't look at it that way. Let me put this way. If Johan Botha were to be bowling in that era he would have gotten away as well.[/quote'] Poor excuse. Saqlain was under the gun too but he was clean so nobody questioned him. Murali & Akhtar were called in the same era as Saqlain.
vvvslaxman Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Poor excuse. Saqlain was under the gun too but he was clean so nobody questioned him. Murali & Akhtar were called in the same era as Saqlain. Neither of them were bowling doosra.
vvvslaxman Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 i pak cricket junaid zia is the biggest chucker that i have seen They chuck, tamper the ball, tamper the pitch.. it is all fair play since they "want their team to win".
king2be98 Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Yes but it all started by trying to accomodate two handicapped suckers -- Murali and Chucktar. You're an absolute racist. The sad part is because you're Indian you'll keep getting away with it. Though your comment above isn't racist, it's extremely offensive. Wonder how you'd feel if you had a child that was born handicapped.
ravishingravi Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 You are wrong:finger: Are you Hashan Tillekaratne ?

Utalk Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Holding is one of the best pundits and has a valid opinion on this.Off spin bowling has become a joke in last 15 years with more and more bowlers pushing the limits. Almost every off spinner is doing it these days.I might be wrong but I don't feel comfortable with bowlers using their wrists.Likes of Akhter, Lee, Praveen kumar are guilty of this.
Sir john Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 :hmmmm2: comparing akhtar action with lee and praveen.
yoda Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 So is holding saying that any usage of the elbow makes the delivery illegal? :dontknow:
