Brumbeh's Pitchers

[Jono]

One of my colleagues was at the game, sat side on to Senanayake and he reckoned his action was filthy, and Malinga's little better

That hurts his cred a bit.

Haha yeah I agree. "Dhoni is a slogger" (in ODIs) and "Malinga is a chucker" are just such giveaway casual fan comments.

Yep, Malinga's action is unorthodox, and weird to look at live, but there's nowt wrong with it.

My casual cricket fan mate calls him a chucker too.

Dhawan, Lyth and Moeen's doosra need a verdict from the ultimate judge, Brumbers, I reckon.

Where is benchmark? I miss him

Single-handed quest to rid the world of left-arm orthodox spinners, one action test at a time, IIRC.

If me and benchmark knew each other in real life we would have babies by now

I never seen Lyth bowl, Moeen's doosra looks positively saintly compared to most practitioners of the delivery, maybe a 1 or a 1.5 at worst but Dhawan'a is pretty rank, isn't it? A solid 7-7.5 on the chuckometer.

I only bring up Lyth really because he may play International cricket soon. Quite frankly I hope he doesn't bowl. With him and Williamson at the club, I'd imagine Rhodes, Verity rotating rather quickly in their graves.

I hate the doosra, ban 'em all, I say.

Dhawan must be walking a tight-rope I'd say, quite easy for the umps to go after occasional bowlers.

Steven Finn thanks.
