The front of the hand leg cutter isn't easy to pick for an off spinner bowling with a high arm action.

Samuels reported
It's a joke that this has been allowed to happen again. He's already been reported once before and found to chuck his quicker ball. He just stopped bowling altogether after that, until the West Indies found themselves in a situation where they'd only picked four bowlers in a Test and one them got injured, prompting him to remodel his action and get cleared again. He didn't bowl the quicker ball immediately upon return but it's slowly just started creeping back into his game. If he's found to still be throwing it (which he surely will) then he should be banned from cricket altogether for a period.

Or rather bowling?

No; cricket altogether IMO.

It's one thing to have a kink in your action that needs to be fixed up, but Samuels appears to be outright cheating. He's already had this delivery declared a throw, had remedial work and got cleared only to come back and bowl it again anyway. Now I take it all back if it's discovered he's somehow not throwing this delivery anymore but I somehow doubt it.

RAHANE! :wub:

This guy should be a lock in for ODI's and tests IMO. Good technique and can strike it big when required. Can't ask for anything more.

It's. Ot like he's just done it once or twice, his quicker delivery is pretty much his stock ball in the IPL.

Yeah, i agree... not only has he already been warned and been through this already, but his chuck is one of the most obviously blatant ones ive ever seen. And it gives him a massive advantage as he uses it for the quicker delivery, enabling him to bowl 120 kph yorkers with no runup whatsoever... ridiculous

Yeah, he isnt a filthy slogger like Richard Levi... plays nice, classy, orthodox shots and still scores at a tremendous rate. Should be brought into the ODI side immediately, and is a definitely a lock in for a test spot imo
