Stranger things have been proven by science. I am thinking quantum stuff. "The universe is under no obligation to make sense to you" - Neil deGrasse TysonIt's not possible for a straight arm to look like anything other than a ****ing straight arm no matter how you rotate it. There's no "optical illusion" that allows someone to chuck whilst appearing clean to the naked eye, it's just not physically or logically possible.
It is however possible for a bent arm to look like a straight one by rotating it 90 degrees and looking at it from the side, creating the illusion of a chuck from a two dimensional perspective.
Thereby, all actions that appear clean are guaranteed to be legal but not all actions that appear dodgy are illegal. Clear?
the devils advocate is strong in this one. A straight line is a ****ing straight line unless you've discovered a way to see into a fourth dimension.Stranger things have been proven by science.

Well, for starters, there is no such thing as a straight line. We need just 3 dimensions for thatthe devils advocate is strong in this one. A straight line is a ****ing straight line unless you've discovered a way to see into a fourth dimension.
If you have, then I am intrigued and wish to hear more.
no. That's what you think. But not provenIt's not possible for a straight arm to look like anything other than a ****ing straight arm no matter how you rotate it.

I think he has a point there Migara. Where do you think he is going wrong?no. That's what you think. But not proven
Should be tested. Will be cleared I think.Wonder if Eranga will get reported sometime
Someone who has an itch that they just love to scratch.Is a "prurist" some type of connoisseur of prunes?
are you for real. Straight lines look straight from any angle - IT'S NOT PROVEN GUISEno. That's what you think. But not proven
But given that the definition of chucking now allows a 15 degree straightening, all we're concerned about is straightening in excess of that. So, as the term is now defined, the naked eye can pick chucking.It is fun to see how prurists getting ********* repeatedly by science.
First it was, bowlers should bowl with a straight arm - proven wrong
Doosra cannot be bowled legally - proven wrong
Naked eye can pick cbhucking - proven wrong it is not possible within 15 degrees.
Next will be this, even with clean actions you can chuck. I will be there to laugh at the stupid prurists on that day.
the current system is good to screen bowlers with dodgy actions only. What is the certainty that bowlers with clean action don't chuck?. We can have positive illusions (illusions of chucking when actions are clean) ss well as negative illusions. McGrath and Pollock were extending up to 12 and these guys had so called cleanest of actions. What would be the certainity that bowlers with less classical actions but not regarded as dodgy does not go beyond 15? There can be negative illusions too. We need to test for this, and my humble opinion is that human eye cannot pick extension in some bowlers even it is greater than 15. The threshold for the naked eye is bowler or action specific imo. For a fair appraisal both the above facets of the problem has to be addressed.But given that the definition of chucking now allows a 15 degree straightening, all we're concerned about is straightening in excess of that.

We all thought Senanayeke chucked it, because he looked as though he did. When the tests were done we were all proven right, not by a pure and staggering coincidence, but because he was in fact chucking and we could see that he was chucking. Same could be said for every one of the others who've been banned over the years.
it applies only to Sarwan. All others extend their elbows and some hyperextend.are you for real. Straight lines look straight from any angle - IT'S NOT PROVEN GUISE
