Did someone say One Nation members? ??
Kyle MillsThis thread is off-topic.
It's supposed to be about chuckers
I just remembered John Hastings, always thought he chucked it a bit. Anyone else?
Yeah OK, so that's people on an internet forum trying to drum up vitriol and reaction because they have nothing better to do. Happens, right?Literally none of it explains "but he was a chucker and cheat, lololol" posting by the usual suspects in literally every thread that has nothing to do with bowling actions, like this one.
But sure, please lecture us more why the obvious fact is not, in fact, true.
Remember how no one raised an issue when discussing Ajmal or other folks regarding the same issue?
This was a ridiculous throwaway comment by Ian Smith in an ODI one day, without much better to talk about obviously. I'd seen Kyle bowl day in, day out without even a second thought that he was chucking it.Kyle Mills
I always thought his action looked dodgy as hell. Never slowed down the screen and really examined it though, might have been an optical illusionThis was a ridiculous throwaway comment by Ian Smith in an ODI one day, without much better to talk about obviously.

Hey you're the one who brought up One Nation.Every. ****ing. Thread. Is. About. The. Sonnenkinder.
Genuine Godwining here from Cribbeh.
OK, I'm probably biased. Maybe to do with the fact that his other-worldly gifts as a genuine great of the ODI game were not to do with pace, so I never gave it much thought. Or I think he's a god amongst men.I always thought his action looked dodgy as hell. Never slowed down the screen and really examined it though, might have been an optical illusion
Shaun Pollock never complained about Mills' actionOK, I'm probably biased. Maybe to do with the fact that his other-worldly gifts as a genuine great of the ODI game were not to do with pace, so I never gave it much thought. Or I think he's a god amongst men.
Nor did he win that gameShaun Pollock never complained about Mills' action
The argument falls flat on the face when Hair is replaced by Emerson.Darryl Hair called it because he is not a conformist, which 95% of us are. We'd rather not call it and not face the scrutiny. His personality lent itself to happily copping it for what he believed in. He didn't do it because Murali was black, white, red or yellow. He did it because he watched footage and in person, and believed Murali was chucking.
What's your point? Nobody has tried to condone Emerson. In fact quite the opposite. Go back and check Burgey's comments about him as an example. As for blaming the "administration", which administration? The ICC who reported umpires' (plural) concerns to the Board of Control for Cricket in Sri Lanka? Or the BBCSL who did absolutely nothing in response to that report.The argument falls flat on the face when Hair is replaced by Emerson.
1. Called two leg breaks
2. Called three years later when Murali was cleared.
Now who let this clown officiate another match once (1) has happened? It was bleeding obvious he was premeditated, when he called two frikking leg breaks. When (2) happeend it was once again obvious he was not doing it alone. Whoever the administration should have kicked him out when (1) happened. It shows the administration also had a part to play. Extrapolating the situation, it is difficult to believe that Hair also was not premeditated for the call or was not under pressure to call.
Once again focusing only on Hair is a poor attempt, not to discuss the elephant in the room.
