Who was the forefather of (spin) chuckers?

Who was the forefather of (spin) chuckers? Chucklitharan or Saqlain Mushtaq? (or someone before?) Chucklitharan ofcourse the most egregious of them all.

Bedi would know. He has been calling for chuckers' heads for about 30 years now. Murali is the first one that I remember. Oh ... and Chucklain Mushtaq has a nice ring to it, too. Like Throwaib Chucktar.

Dont think Saqlain chucked.Was probably one of the very few legit doosra bowlers. Muralitharan was the baap of all chuckers.Started it,got away with it,inspired others to chuck

C-H-U-C-K-L-I-T-H-A-R-A-N Others might have chucked before him, but he took chucking to the extreme, and most importantly took it to another level after he was tested and let go. It was a license to literally throw the ball.

That precious fat ***** Ranatunga Murali was the father of chucking, but G@@nd -a-dunga was Murali's daddy and backed him to the hilt. And pulled it off. Without G@@nd -a-dunga, we would never have been tainted by an era of chuckers. So he was the real forefather of chuckers. Saqlain didn't chuck.

Chukiitharan and dharmasena,chuklitharan had free license to throw ball due to natural bend in arm,just look at his face while bowling,clearly throwing expressions

Chukiitharan and dharmasena' date='chuklitharan had free license to throw ball due to natural bend in arm,just look at his face while bowling,[b']clearly throwing expressions[/QUOTE] As Ruseell Peters would say, Muralitharan had a chuckface(rhyming to f***face). BTW, some of the names on this thread(chuklain,chucklitharan ) are :hysterical:

[fineleg]

Saqlain didn't chuck.

Was his doosra action all that clean??

[Malcolm Merlyn]

Was his doosra action all that clean??

[Malcolm Merlyn]
