Chucker menace in World Cup

[Old guy]

so what if a bowler gets called DURING the WC. He keeps on playing? because as far as I know you are not barred from bowling until you are tested. Also why doesn't the ICC just testing everyone. I think they should check all bowlers in the 15 man squad of every team.

Sure ...next they can check action of every domestic team too and why stop there ...do it at school level ...wait...that is the job of your cricket board :winky: It is only when board itself fails to weed out chuckers and some one chucks in match that Icc tests the bowler..it's very simple system Bowler plays in match and then chucks-> gets reported -> tested -> result So if u don't chuck in match u don't get tested and many bowlers have passed this test with only few of their deliveries not passing so to say everyone chucks if far fetched as only few bowlers are blatantly cheating and not everyone and mos too boards bcci included do great job of weeding out bowlers and correcting them in domestic cricket and even ipl .

+1...testing everyone is ridiculous... what do you test them for? Assume Anderson has to be tested....what deliveries should he bowl? he can bowl 4-5 straight gun barrel length balls and he is tested? Ridiculous proposition of testing all bowlers...:hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:

From whatever I research I could do, umpires will not call bowlers in the match and no ball them... In this scenario, ICC should CLEARLY let all the boards know that any tricks played in WC matches will NOT be tolerated ....in worst case umpires can let captain know that a certain bowler is suspicious and if he is not taken away immediately , then they will call no ball? ...integrity of game is paramount and ICC should be very strict in this regard.

Let's wait and see ...no point talking about it with no information ...
