Most Blatant Chucker Of The Cricket Ball

[SillyCowCorner1]

Special mention:

Marlon Samuels' 130 kph bombs

 

[fredfertang]

Pretty sure he admitted later on he threw all them. Staggered he was never called.

He may have chucked, but the admission was, I believe, just him bored of the bloke interviewing him and said in jest

 

[Burgey]

I remember once seeing film of Ian Meckiff.

If that was anything like representative of his normal work I'm amazed he was allowed to play.

Compare the reaction of Benaud, who was Meckiff’s skipper when he was called by a home umpire and immediately removed him from the attack for the whole match, and the disgraceful Ranatunga when Murali was called, who spat his dummy and then tried bowling him from the other end. WAC he is.

Was pre-ordained though wasn't it?

Kane "All my wickets are invalid" Williamson

How did we make it this far without a single mention of Malinga

He doesn't throw.


Meckiff is far from the worst.

 

[Migara]

The most blatant would be a pick between Amla and Inzamam. But, hey, it never mattered.

The most blatant ones would be, Ajmal, Senanayake, Roy Gilchrist, Sonny Ramdin, Jasprit Patel, and Tony Lock in no particular order. There are allegations that bowlers like Sylvester Clark chucked their bouncers to hit the batsman and intimidate them once in a while. For me this is the worst type of chucking.

 

[Migara]

Murali has a lot to answer for, doesn'the?

Nothing similar to Murali. Utseya is a finger spinner. If this discussion involved Maurice Homes or Mohnish Parmer then it would have been.

 

[Starfighter]

It's the copying the top of the hand release style.

Or Kaushal.

 

[Migara]

Or Kaushal.

His off break was even better than people havin classical actions. At the worst only 50% of his doosras were illegal. It's a pity that coaches did not help him with the issues with his action (elbow was the least of them), and faded away.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Putting his action aside, I remember Kaushal bowling a fair few front foot no balls. Now for a spinner that is just inexcusable.

Least chucky bowler mentioned here by far

It’s got to do with him because they changed the rules to accommodate him and in doing so let in all these other blokes whose actions stink too.

 

[stephen]

My 4 year old has an awful action. Really should no ball her for it.

Usual piss. Rules were changed to accommodate McGrath and Pollock, because they were extending it more than Murali.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Wasn't Ramnaresh Sarwan the only unequivocally legal bowler in international cricket at one time?

 

[the big bambino]

Was there a problem with Rorkes action . I just thought it was over his drag.

Haha. Fair enough.
