**Official** West Indies in England 2012

Looks strait to me... Then again I tend to be fairly generous unless its worse than Botha's doorsa.

 

[Ruckus]

yeah I dunno actually. It's funny though cause in real time it looks like he has almost a perfectly straight arm...it's only on the replays you can notice a bit of movement.

 

[Spark]

Fine by me.

 

[uvelocity]

this cracked me up (the bit about the weedy nick knight lol

andrew flintoff ‏@flintoff11
@kevinpp24 got it right picking a fight with the weedy Nick Knight , don't mess with Viv Ramdin ! @piersmorgan #nails

Length is all over the shop atm. Needs to get it on the spot.

 

[uvelocity]

ahhh theres the knuckles. elbow definitely straightens ftr

 

[WindieWeathers]

Sunil keeps breathing into his hands before he bowls!!.. seems like his hands are cold, not done too badly tbh, the more overs he bowls the more i'd expect him to come alive, tough though making your debut on a road where the the oppositions top spinner didn't even get a sniff of a wicket, as long as he learns from this though i don't mind.

 

[Spark]

He needs to bowl much more of an Ajmal off-stump line and waaaaay fuller imo

 

[BoyBrumby]

Yeah, it's not the worst I've seen, but there's no argument there's a fair bit of elbow in the action.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Sounds like he's bowling a T20 length. In T20 unless you've got awesome power it's hard to hit boundaries off short and straight spin bowling.

Caught some of England's batting in the pub a while back. Some pretty abysmal nothing shot dismissals.

 

[Ruckus]

I really hope Lyon ends up having a successful career...I mean it would be good if someone like Narine does too, cause god knows the WI need some success stories, but yeah I dunno something about these "mystery" spinners just annoys me.

 

[WindieWeathers]

Yeah, it's not the worst I've seen, but there's no argument there's a fair bit of elbow in the action.

He's already had his action examined by the ICC after going to Australia over a year ago and was CLEARED, plus he just played in the IPL and no-one even said a word about his action .

Whatever. I'm not having this argument again.

 

[Spark]

All this action stuff is pretty boring IMO, and secondary to the fact he's pitched just about every ball a metre too short

 

[Debris]

The rules now allow for 15 degrees of straightening so it's probably legal. You can do a lot with 15 degrees.

I agree.

Can't win tho. Bell and Pietersen look like they could play him with a toothpick so it's hardly sour grapes to raise the suggestion here.

 

[NUFAN]

This KP bloke would make a useful T20 player for England.

Oh wait.. But he's batting really well at the moment. I hope one of these get out soon though to see how Bairstow handles the pressure.

The other thing to note is that some of it is likely shoulder rotation.

 

[WindieWeathers]

Bloody hell barath just dropped bell off a lovely Narine delivery!!.

 

[Spark]

Seriously tough chance tbf. Only the very best would have reacted quick enough to grab that one, as it was he was almost there.
