IPL 2015 Thread

Yeah, think this is definitely the case. Ashwin rectified his action by modelling it to be more similar to Narine's, but the difference is that Ashwin has a lot more pivot off the foot while Narine just runs in and doesn't use his body at all.

I always thought Ashwin modelling his action on Narine's was a troll effort.

 

[Pratters]

I mean, next game Narine comes on to bowl his first delivery, rolls his sleeve up to his shoulders and bowls the most perfect classical off break.

What's the umpire gonna do? No ball a legitimate delivery? Act in contempt of the laws of cricket?

How does this even work? They could force Narine off the field, but what's the status of the delivery he's just bowled? Does the scorecard show that he was ******ed off the field for bowling a legitimate off break?

They find his action when bowling off breaks suspect. So they have banned him from bowling off breaks till a change in status.

Was that the period he wore the long sleeves?

Yeah a definite piece of trolling.

 

[Furball]

Basically copied Narine's action then justified it by saying he wanted to see if using more elbow in his action allowed him to turn it more IIRC

The umpires wouldn't get involved; he'd just cop a suspension afterwards.

Yeah, this.

Umpires don't really call no balls for suspect actions these days, they only call it on the field when you run down the pitch and peg it at the batsman, like so.

I mean, even at park level I've been instructed not to call suspect actions, everything goes through a reporting and remodelling process if it's action-related chucking.

But suspending him for bowling a legal delivery is extremely silly.

I believe it would still be a reporting mechanism.. As far as I know, his offie is banned as he bowls it with an illegal action.. If he bowls it again but this time with a legal action, they might have it checked but it could still end up being ok for him, right?

 

[honestbharani]

Man.. Baz against the spinners looks so so bad when he misses the ball. Its a reason why he keeps coppin iffy decisions against them I feel.. He looks great when he s hitting them but the moment he misses one, it just looks so so bad..


And same with Faf.. except that he kinda looks bad even when he is goiog well against the spinners..

 

[Antihippy]

At least Narine sitting out means we get some hoggy action.

 

[Niall]

This is an absolutely crazy game, 69/4 after six overs.

 

[harsh.ag]

Hogg is a T20 god.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Hogg what a man

Nah, the umpires are ****ed.

"Following the provisions of the IPL Suspected Illegal Bowling Action Policy, the Committee has concluded that Narine's bowling action for his off-spinner, contravenes Law 24.2 (as read with Law 24.3) of the Laws of Cricket and therefore the player is now banned from bowling the off-spinner in matches organised by the BCCI, including the IPL. He may however continue to bowl his other deliveries (the knuckle ball and the quicker straight ball)," the BCCI said in a statement.

The statement further read, "If Narine were to again bowl the off-spinner in this season's IPL, the on-field umpires would apply Law 24.2 and call "No ball" and, at the end of the match, would issue a further report.


"Pursuant to clause 3.4 of the IPL Suspected Illegal Bowling Action Policy, the player would in such circumstances automatically be suspended from bowling in BCCI-organised matches," the statement said.

Seriously, how many times must commentators talk about T20 being the death of spinners when they've dominated the rankings for years now.

 

[honestbharani]

That is a **** rule then... They are gone..


BTW, how stupid was Raina's shot inn this game? All he needed to do was hang around till the spinners came on.. Surely do not see Chawla dng all this if Raina was around.. At times, he just bats like a programmed robot..

It was naive as he is probably one of their best players against spin, although don't think Faf was to clever either in getting out.

 

[eroticfishcake]

Negi!

 

[duffer]

I love this crowd. Awesome.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Pandey's such a bad batsman. No matter what delivery is bowled, his footwork is pretty much always identical... a plonk of his front foot straight down the wicket and his foot pointing awkwardly towards point. Looks like a crab with one of its limbs chopped off.
