I think there should be an option to say there are no other chuckers because I'm not so sure that any of those players do in fact "chuck".

 

[Sudeep]

As if there weren't enough threads already...

Yeah exactly. This is getting really boring.

I guess we have to wait for the ICC committee to release the full report.
But its either every one chucks or no one does !! There's no point in having more degrees of chucking allowed for fast bowlers and not for slow bowlers.

To answer the original question on the thread, I hope Paul Hurion, Professor Bruce Elliott and co. will make it their business to study the likes of Thommo (Jeff Thompson), Dennis Lillee, Freddie Trueman, Frank Tyson and others from Video footages and film footages to see what they come up with !!

Then we may be able to answer the question of this thread better !

Just out of curisity was ever action of Paul Adams was questioned?

 

[Simon]

first time iver ever heard anyone say Chaminda Vaas is suspect...

 

[tooextracool]

is anyone else annoyed at the number of threads at the moment that are all about chucking?

 

[Simon]

yes, i think everyone is, but they keep popping up!

The poll says 'who is the greatest hucker'

 

[Deja moo]

yes , I too am shocked to discover that the four named there offer ***ual services in return for monetary compensation .

 

[JASON]

None of those mentioned fit the "Rugby" hooker's requirements either !!

(being slim, lanky and asthenic as opposed to the requirement being short,fat,tubbies without a neck who are hookers).

Good point - but I don't know quite how you could determine start and finish of his action!

Warnie and Gillespie are good at spitting.

 

[SJS]

OK. Here is the most objective and fair list of test history's greatest chuckers !!

1. Martin Donnely (NZ Land)
2. Lindsay Hasset (Australia)
3. Colin Cowdrey (England)
4. Vijay Merchant (India)
5. Mohsin Khan (Pakistan)
6. Jack Cheetham (S Africa)
7. Roy Marshall (WIndies)
8. Sidath Wettimuny (Sri Lanka)

As you can see I carry no nationalistic bias

What did you say ? You have never before mentioned these guys mentioned as chuckers ? Oh thats simple. Thats because no one found them difficult to play and none of them got anywhere close to a world record in test wickets

 

[sledger]

steve harmison must be in there somewhere

 

[Buddhmaster]

Chaminda Vaas has never been mentioned, because his action isn't suspect. Simple as that.

 

[vic_orthdox]

chaminda was mentioned in the "bogus" "secret seven" icc report.

wonder whether the bowlers who tend to really utilise the wrist, e.g. vaas, pollock and gillespie, are more likely to push the boundaries of the new rules than others

 

[SJS]

How come there isnt such a big hue and cry about Shoaib ? Is it because he is much easier to play than Murali and/or he doesnt threaten any one else's advance to a world record ?

..they are working on a special software to figure out his action as current one gives programming errors
