***Official** Sri Lanka in New Zealand

[Dasa]

For the record, I was watching Murali bowling and I have issues with that doosra too. Even allowing an extra 15 degrees for his deformity, it still looked like AT LEAST a 30 degree flexion.

He's been tested - he's within the rules. Your vision simply cannot be trusted because it's been proven that bowlers who looked normal bowled illegally. Murali has been tested more than any other bowler in the history of the game and he's been exonerated every time.

It's not worth worrying about too much. They'll change the rules again to 30 degrees in no time. All the money's in Asia

Not this crap again...so the limit was changed to 15 degrees to appease Asia when under the old guidelines, virtually all bowlers were 'chucking'...yep, makes perfect sense.

I knew this would happen. Some people just have to bring up the old 'chucking' whinge whenever Murali does well against their team.
I have to give credit to the vast majority of NZ fans though - most on this forum have been great.

Well New Zealand should really have been able to bat out the day without losing Cumming and how, but atleast they managed to get a 50 partnership and both of them were actually looking quite good. Fleming and Sinclair will need to bat most of the day tomorrow if we want any chances of saving this game.

That survey that found that "all bowlers were chuckers" was absolute poppy-****. It just takes common-sense and the naked eye to see that a bowler is chucking, and Murali is caught red-handed every ball, Akthar is a serial offender and so is Brett Lee.

While we are on it Kyle Mills has an incredibly suspect action. He looks like he chucks more than Lee and Akhtar.

The earth is flat. After all, I'm looking out the window and it doesn't look like it's a giant ball. Therefore, it must be flat.

Did you not know that all the oceans just flow of the edge of the earth?

Damn right, he chucks it as bad as both of them. Bout time we agreed on something Perm.

 

[Perm]

Just because it looks like he chucks doesn't mean that he does, I'd be interested to know if he's actually been tested by the ICC.

 

[Isolator]

Mills's action does look dodgy seen from the normal camera angle (ie. behind the bowler), but side-on, it's clear that his arm is straight. There is a jerk, but there doesn't seem to be much straightening.

Black Caps Twenty20 Squad

Good move to bring in Andre Adams, Ross Taylor and Mark Gillespie but I'm slightly less impressed with James Marshall and Peter McGlashan. It has been confirmed that Brendon McCullum will open the batting and Shane Bond will only play one game.

 

[Fiery]

Just remember, it's only a 20/20 squad...thank god

His only got three 10 wkt hauls, one against Australia, one against Bangladesh and one today. Thats where that comment coming from..

EDIT: Also his only got one 5-fer not against Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Australia, six out of 13 are against Australia

 

[Perm]

Perhaps the fact he has six 5'fers against Australia and 13 in his career.

 

[NZTailender]

Good to see we're bringing in some new players for the Twenty/20. TBH, I was hoping we'd debut new players for it (Ryder, Gillespie, Taylor (though he has played ODI) etc).

So, are you agreeing with me or bagging me...hard to tell?

 

[Jono]

Did you grass me in Perm. Get off the grass mate, I'm a fellow kiwi.

Formal apology to James and staff but I have been on this website for a while and made friends but object to being called a wanker by a new member

So its alright for senior members then?

Disagreeing his got take a large hauls against any other teams bar Australia, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. You said he does it against most teams other then Australia, 2 out of 7 is not mist teams. I wasn't bagging you, just pointing something out.

Yeah, that's fine Jono, you can call me a wanker as much as you like mate. We go way back.
