Michael Lewis

Haha Rosanna, I was cruising past there today on the train..

Anyway, what a great reflection on such a fine suburb that in response to someone voicing suspicions over a bowler's actions, someone is threatened to have their head smashed in...

Well he is a club legend. Ok Probly wouldn't have a head smashed in, maybe just laughed at and told to f*** off.

lol @ the Mick Lewis fan club waiting for me in Rosanna. LMAO.

I'm sorry if I seem inflammatory (I guess chucking accusations usually are), I'm genuinely interested. There is definitely SOMETHING about his action (a violent jerk as he releases the ball), if it isn't a chuck then what is it?

Josh find the door and use it buddy.

btw thierry I can see what you are saying.

No.

 

[Josh]

Actually I do need to calm down.

 

[thierry henry]

nah fire up Josh lol. Chucking accusations always fire people up, it's to be expected.

 

[Josh]

Sorry mate I know but I probably took it too far. I'm just stoked he's playing for Aus.

 

[Jono]

LMAO @ Josh and Rosanna.

 

[Burpey]

Gees, I can't see the chucking at all. I had a good look after you frist mentioned it and I still couldn't see anything.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Never noticed anything.

Ok look, I could find myself going through Rosanna station tomorrow. When I get there, I'll yell from the train "Mick Lewis is a chucker"

That would be funny. But most probably people would think you're just some strange guy who looks like a dyke, and nothing more of it.

 

[Nate]

Do it Rob!

 

[Robertinho]

Hahaha I wish I had a camera phone...

Bowled extremely well tonight in the final over, legally btw.

how do u know whether it was legal or not, did u test him? for all we know he could be exceeding the tolerance limit.

 

[Top_Cat]

I've always noticed a 'flick' but I put it down to hyper-extension and his wrist doing the work. Certainly I've never thought he was a chucker, even on slow-mo.

I dont think hes a chucker, but I can see why someone would think he is.

He action is that of a inswing bowler (and despite this, he doesnt swing the ball in at all - one of the great mysteries of the world) and from behind, it may look as if he is flicking his shoulder in that direction. Basically, it "looks" like hes doing a Blessing Mahwire from behind, but when ytou see it from other angles, you see that its pretty much just his wrist. His elbow is locked in.

I certainly dont think its completely rediculous to bring this up though, because I thought the same thing the first few times I saw him.

It is legal because he is bowling in international cricket and hasn't been reported ffs. Common sense please.

yea he's got that slight flick, but he is no way chuck, he's legal...
