Now that you mention it, I always thought that Steyn looked a but suspect.

It's complete rubbish that misguided people still think this to be the case when it's been proven in the labs.
Do you really think that? I haven't seen any hard data or examined the methodology. Nor have I seen any proof that they were testing the same actions as what is bowled in match situations.

Well if you decide to not trust the testing process without looking into how it actually takes place then that's your prerogative, but that's a bit like the people who thought the Earth was flat.

For the record they do compare match footage with the action in the lab, not 100% guaranteed accurate I'll give you that but still a heck of a lot more accurate then someone watching it on TV and deciding it's chucking because it "looks dodgy"

No in fact it's the opposite. Why would I believe something without evidence?

Anyway aren't the fans what cricket is all about? what the fans see on tv is important. And if it looks dodgy it more than likely is.

Haha, brilliant. No smoke without fire, that's what a hundred years of cricketing rules gets you.

Then why the **** are you talking then you dumb ****?
Lol you wouldn't be so upset if you didn't know I was right

And as far as I know they haven't released any real details about the process at all so stop being stupid

I don't have a hand in this round mate, so the outcome doesn't worry me. What gets me though is people insisting there is nothing beyond the horizon, having never been there themselves, and they haven't even bothered to talk to the person who sailed beyond it.

So in short, you're wrong bro.

If you don't have anything relevant to say then why even bother.

I would actually interested if anyone has any detailed information on the testing process, because it seems to me that they keep it pretty confidential. In which case you are all talking out your asses.

Meanwhile it's completely legitimate to assume bowlers change their actions illegally from the testing process to gameday

The full report of the testing process was published including the results and is readily available on the net.........do your own googling.

Mate, seriously.....you need to bow out of this one, way out of your depth son.

I really can't dumb it down any more . . . they didn't publish the detailed methodology. The results and report don't tell the whole story.

And how can you possibly know they didn't change their action? most these guys bowl with baggy long-sleeve shirts in a game anyway.

Come on man, use your logic, I know you have it.

I know I sound like a conspiracy theorist but there is no way in hell that Saeed Ajmal's doosra is a legal delivery.

I'll take your word for it then

You can't accuse us of "talking out our asses" and then ask us to believe your 'logical' theories which have no basis in proof
