Reporting on SEN- Harbajan Sighn (sp) has been reported for chucking in the recent test with Pakistan. Third time he has been reported, but cleared twice...The doosra is the ball under dispute yet again...did not catch who did the reporting...assume it must be the match referee....
And so it starts again....
Wasn't he cleared less than a month ago ?
I'm sure he was in WA with all those groovy white dots stuck all over his body.

Think they said it was 2004- certainly last year, if not last six months

I saw footage of him in Perth when he was being tested... he was hardly straining himself, just rolling the arm over. No surprise if he has been pulled up again.
Did anyone hear Bill Brownless on SEN this morning when they were talking to the Indian reporter?
He is a dead set tool. Maher and Watson are trying to have a serious conversation and Billy just kept going he's always been a chucker and always will. He's an absolute disgrace.

"He's an absolute disgrace"? Just because his opinion differs from yours ?

Not at all. He acts like a two year old.
They've got a guy form India on trying to have a serious conversation and all you can hear is a moron in the background shouting hes a chucker hes, a chucker.
Even after the Indian guy had hung up he was still yelling it out.

Yes, and let's take him to a lab, where he'll bowl warm up balls, get cleared again, then a month later be reported again, go to a lab, bowls warm up balls, cleared, on and on and on and on...

Just move him to Sri Lanka where he can get immunity from anything related to chucking.

Agree. I didn't hear the interview with the Indian bloke, but I have heard Brownless behave like this before. He strikes me as a bad clown, and not in a good way. An embarrassment.

I was waiting for Billy to ask the Indian guy whether he had had a 'froffie' last night.

Whenever a player is shown on the TV being tested for chucking he is always just rolling the arm over.Surely the testers would have a speed gun or or some other device to measure the speed of the delivery and compare it to his normal deliveries.Then again it seems everyone who gets tested is cleared so maybe not.
What about that technology that analyses the actual match deliveries that supposedly showed Lillee was a chucker?Whay isn't that being used?

Yeah, I was sure he was recently cleared after testing at UWA. :confused:
It is virtually impossible to bowl a doosra without straightening the arm. Even with the 15 degree ruling a lot of the doosras bowled in match situations are chucked by definition.
During our last tour of Sri Lanka Murali's doosra was so dodgy he may as well have pitched it baseball style.
The doosra is the ball under dispute yet again...did not catch who did the reporting...assume it must be the match referee....
It was the subcontinent's favourite match referee: Chris Broad.

If Murali doesn't chuck, nobody chucks. We had our chance to stamp it out of the game and we failed. Now we have to wear it.
