Who, in turn, was such a poor man's Tony Pigott that his attempt to bowl straight-up-and-down military mediums resulted in something vaguely resembling leg spin.

I have no problem with players with suspect actions being called to have tests. The problem I have is the reaction of people who claim it is a conspiracy to upset a team/player. If that continues umpires will be too scared to call anyone. If he passes the tests then so be it. I have watched him carefully and it is borderline at minimum, no sour grapes, no running scared. Just saying it as I see it.

or if it looks like infracting in the subjective view point.

It was blantant obvious that it's going to happen. The way themmatter was discussed by commentators and the way press has behaved it was obvious. And interestingly, he is the best bowler for SL in ODI team.

So you're now accusing the umpires of bias then seeing as they're the ones who reported him, nobody else did.
What a crock of ****e. Wah wah wah, everyones against us. Waaaahh.

What's happening with those arm monitors that would test live action of suspect bowlers. They should get those out asap so this mess is resolved.

The only way to completely resolve potential action issues is to make an arm brace that's comfortable to wear and makes it impossible to flex the elbow - and make every single international bowler required to wear one. Similar to what Murali wore when he showed that he could bowl all his deliveries without straightening his elbow but much more comfortable and cheaper to make. That would resolve action issues in international cricket permanently.

You can call him on breaking the rules all you like but best case scenario is his actions will be reviewed in lab conditions and he'll be back in a few months.

You have got your arse handed back to you very recently on mankading? Don't you? It was sick to see what English commentators were doing. FFS this guy has been tested yearly in last three years, and all the time came up with flying colors.

All the bowlers. The extension does not depend on how clean the action looks. McGrath and Pollock extended more than murali's off break.
I don't understand the bolded as it doesn't make any sense. It was sick to see? Querying a bloke with a bent arm for being a chucker? Tested by the SL board. Yeah lets see what the real testers have to say about it. Your victim complex is embarrassing. You think Sri Lanka mean enough for there to be a conspiracy about a decent limited overs bowler?he was tested at UWA i believe. i am only a part time cricket fan and even i know this.

Him changing his action, then being tested is not the same as them testing his current action. Sorry, there is no comparison there.
mmmmmkkaay.
