I think the only way Labuschagne stays a Test batter is if he opens in WTC final, so might as well make him an ODI opener as well (better than alternatives McGurk or Short)

You could say we’re going into the CT with a 13 man squad as those two positions are wasted. Well maybe one because I have more time for Short than you. I think I’ve gone past being cranky with JFM, as it’s not his fault. The people who are pumping up his tyres now will most likely cut him adrift when he’s eventually dumped. If they’re going to select on gun bbl form they should pick Owen. At least his form is more recent, consistent and he looks to have some kind of a technique.

I'm sure your criticism of Smith was as muted as when Atherton was fined after his case of tampering? I doubt there is a bigger hypocrite in cricket than an English fan jacking off about the spirit of the game. Breaking the stumps of a fat, gormless, **** who's left his crease isn't cheating either. It's called run out or stumping. The same gormless **** even tried it himself but came up with a self serving excuse to act in the way he complains about in others, such is the untreatable nature of English privilege.
The Murali incident at least generated the current protocols on throwing. Kuhnemann is just submitting to that process as everyone else. No special treatment here so you can shut it.

Note hazlewoods still injured, and faces a long recovery, and its fair to say based on his questionable injury history, hes no longer a 1st choice bowler in the Test team on seaming wickets- Boland is and he was brilliant last WTC. Boland also single handedly won us the BGT- without him, we would not have the BGT trophy and also the series victory.

There's a short article by Ben Horne in The Australian today saying they've received reports that people in the domestic setup, including match officials, had expressed concern 'for some time' about Kuhnemann's action, and that they essentially didn't formally report him because no-one wanted to be the person who brought that kind impact and stigma upon his career.
And now look where we are...
And now look where we are...
isnt it ironic of all countries that it was in SL that he was reported? a country that produced Murali..

There was nothing wrong with Murali
just hyperextension of the elbow. similar to Bumrah.
We await the test results of Kuhn.

Wasn't it more likely match officials that reported him than SL themselves?

Did Burgey write it?

In fairness, a fair few Aussie posters were calling Kuhnemann's action out yesterday when the news first broke. Indeed, looking back at the thread, they had their suspicions for a while. This is set out a few pages ago.Did Burgey write it?

Good that it has happened as it'll be cleared up one way or the other. Better than waiting for the axe to drop.

Kuhns action totally looks ****ed. But who knows. As a batsman facing the delivery, surely the issue is how it looks coming out and that is what should matter, rather than all of these technical excuses. And if it doesn't matter to the batsman, who cares?

It's within 15 degrees, he has a deformity..
Even Shane Warne believed he didn't chuck , and Warne was never politically correct.
