Jonbrooks chucking Megathread

[uvelocity]

im clear on murali not straightening, the video with the brace sold me - but i wonder with the worse set of numbers coming out on current dodgy bowlers compared to previous tests, how does the testing murali did relate to the most recent batch.

 

[sledger]

I think Jon Brooks raises a very valid point tbh.

 

[Daemon]

If sledger agrees with someone in cricket chat you know it's a troll post


in b4 he agrees with this

No one cares though.

Mind you it would be awesome if this was a troll by Murali just for the lols

 

[sledger]

Don't pretend you don't care. You're always sniffing around waiting to comment on my CC activity. Just desperate for some Sledger CC action imo.

The vein of Muralitharan. I think it's visible if you zoom in a bit on his hand.

 

[weldone]

I opened the link expecting Muralitharan would talk about the other aspect of cheating, i.e. drug abuse etc.

 

[WindieWeathers]

LOL love Murali but it's true though...that guy had more calls than a *** chat hotline!!

As Hendrix said though, he doesn't actually say anything as bluntly as the headline suggests.

 

[Flametree]

No real excuse for the original post, but as a kiwi he's probably spent his whole cricketing life listening to Bryan Waddle's close-minded "I know what I see and no science will make me think otherwise" views on the radio repeated ad infinitum, so getting some balance isn't easy....

Cos science has never been wrong before? F***ing flat planet.

More cos if science is wrong, then that has to be proven scientifically if you want to be taken seriously

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Isn't the whole point of the scientific method that you can't prove what is true, only what is wrong?

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Yeah, nothing is ever more than theory.
I guess the main point from Flametree is that sometimes you can't change someone's opinion no matter how wrong you think they are or proof you think you have.
Either way I still think the affect Murali has had on SL cricket is more positive than negative. Plus he seems like a decent bloke.
The 15 degree rule is something to use for now and they have to police it as best they can, from now on.

Science never thought the planet was flat FWIW...even the ancient egyptians knew it was curved.

 

[YorksLanka]

BBC SPORT | Cricket | Murali cleared by yet more tests

Just a little clarification that when he was tested the second time, Murali still came in under the 15 degree limit...

 

[jonbrooks]

This is just trolling by the OP at this point.

Murali hasn't said anything controversial whatsoever. His deliveries were shown to be within the 15 degree threshold, Ajmal's were nearly 3 times that.

Why am I trolling? In light of all the recent reports of chucking it would be fair to say Muralitharan got away with it.

 

[jonbrooks]

take a hike jonbrooks

No hope in hell mate.

The brace tests merely showed that Muralitharan was capable of bowling legally. In no way does it prove he wasn't a chucker. There is a difference between a flawed action and someone who chucks the ball deliberately.
