umpires and ICC had to take notice because of some blatant chucking but they most probably will con the test system and pass the test,similar to what murali,chuckmal did..when will chuckmal`s and junaid`s number come ?

[SLICKR392]

What about Ajmal chucking in the last T20 against Faf? It was worse.

Junaid chucks pretty badly sometimes.

[ganeshran]

Both of them chuck blatantly - Shillingford with the doosra and Samuels his faster delivery.

Ojha must be breathing a sigh of relief..:giggle:

ICC suspends Shillingford for illegal bowling action and SAMUELS ESCAPES

The ICC has suspended Shane Shillingford, the West Indies offspinner, from bowling in international cricket after his action was found to be illegal. An ICC statement said an independent biomechanical analysis had revealed that, for both Shillingford's standard off-break delivery and the doosra, the amount of elbow extension in his bowling action exceeded the 15 degrees' level of tolerance permitted under the ICC regulations. Shillingford will remain suspended from bowling in international cricket until he submits a fresh analysis that proves his bowling action has been corrected.

Shillingford got sachin's wicket in the Kolkata test match...:(( had he been suspended earlier...:((

[King Tendulkar]

ICC taking the mickey here! Ajmal carries on does he???

[fineleg]

ICC shud suspend the other chuckers too - be it from India or Pak or SL or any other country

[Iconoclast]

Proves the ICC process works ... those who are scientifically proved to chuck are suspended and those who aren't continue to play as they should be allowed to.

Yes its because the ICC is actually run by PCB double agents .... shhhh don't tell anyone :nervous:

The ICC has suspended Shane Shillingford, the West Indies offspinner, from bowling in international cricket after his action was found illegal. His team-mate Marlon Samuels, who is a part-time offspinner, has been prohibited from bowling quicker deliveries in international cricket. The pair were reported for suspect action on November 16, during the second Test against India in Mumbai. They underwent biomechanical analysis in Perth on November 29, before the start of the series against New Zealand. Shillingford has taken six wickets at 42.66 in the first two Tests against New Zealand but will now not be available for the final match in Hamilton which starts on Thursday. Samuels has not bowled in the current series. An ICC statement said that an independent biomechanical analysis had revealed that for both Shillingford's standard off-break delivery and his doosra, the amount of elbow extension in his bowling action exceeded the 15 degrees' level of tolerance permitted under the ICC regulations. Shillingford will remain suspended until he submits a fresh analysis that proves his action has been corrected. Earlier this week, when asked about the pending report, West Indies coach Ottis Gibson said he was confident Shillingford would be cleared. "There are a few people around the world bowling with similar, if not worse actions, so I expect him to be cleared for sure." Meanwhile, the analysis on Samuels' action revealed that the spinner's standard off-break delivery was legal but the quicker delivery exceeded the prescribed levels of tolerance. If Samuels is reported for a suspect action in the next two years, the ICC will take note of it as a second report and the player will have to undergo a biomechanical analysis. If the analysis concludes that Samuels has an illegal action for any delivery, he will be banned from bowling in international cricket for a minimum period 12 months. Shillingford had earlier been suspended from bowling in international cricket in December 2010, a month after being reported for a suspect bowling action on West Indies' tour of Sri Lanka. He underwent remedial action on his bowling and was cleared by the ICC in June 201

He was cleared earlier. So it also proves that once player is cleared he can chuck in many matches before getting reported again. Getting cleared once is not enough.

[StriKe]

What is biomechanical analysis? How does it work ?

Bhai you're so awesome at refuting your own post I barely have to reply. If the umps see repeated chucking they will report .. see OP for further clarification :two_thumbs_up:

??? Why was it a joke ... brilliant bowling by Ajmal and co. knocked them over for ridiculously low totals on otherwise harmless pitches. BTW Rehman and Hafeez and even Gul did nearly as well as Ajmal in that series .. were they massive chuckers also ? http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/averages/batting_bowling_by_team.html?id=6859;team=7;type=series
