Cheating Aussies etc etc.

 

[Spikey]

Same old Queenslanders, always cheating

 

[Chubb]

I'm not surprised, I thought he would get called when he made his debut. CWers have been joking about his action for years.

 

[Starfighter]

Seriously, CA was either blind or living in denial if they didn't think this could happen. Everyone here did.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Fitting to be reported for chucking in the Warne-Muralidaran trophy

 

[cascade]

A top 3 of JFM, Short and Connolly lmao

 

[Gob]

Can't believe how he worked him self through junior levels given how strict aus coaches are on bowling actions

Anywho let's wait and see how much he flexes it. My guess is that he should be very close to Ajmal

1. They're not strict, in my experience

2. His action was fine when he started playing professionally. It was something the developed suddenly between the 21/22 and 22/23 seasons.

 

[Burgey]

CA needs to just tell everyone he's been cleared by the Uni of WA in a controlled and not at all contrived setting, promises not to bowl his doosra then have a big cry about it to play the victim, and he'll be right to play for years.

Then he should be able to revert to that no? As a someone who does not rely on the doosra, it shouldn't be a huge issue for him although may not get the same zip

Kuhnemann faces bowling scrutiny after action reported | cricket.com.au

Australia's leading wicket-taker in Sri Lanka Tests was reported by officials for a suspected?

www.cricket.com.au

This is the first time in those eight years of professional cricket that his action been questioned

They've got eyes right? Or were people just too polite to point it out? I mean, it took a couple of years for Green to be found out.

 

[Qlder]

Here's the ODI records for 4 of Aussie top 7

McGurk - 87 runs @ 17.40, SR 155.4
Short - 195 runs @ 21.66, SR 100.5
Connolly - 7 runs @ - -, SR 43.8
Hardie - 134 runs @ 16.45, SR 84.8

That's pretty pathetic for any team

Who knows? Once a someone's used to doing something it can be quite hard to change back.

 

[Starfighter]

I reckon Johnson could do with running in quicker. It's a very medium-paced run.

 

[Starfighter]

What a terrible shot, even in this format

 

[Kraken]

Hardie bowling really well here - hopefully it translates to form with the stick as well (not that he'll get a bat)
