Good to see England adopting an aggressive policy against the chucker

And they wonder why they are one of the poorer test nations.

****e!!! Look at those figures.

Either Murali is killing them with his unpedictable "bowling"...or England are just pussies......I think I will take the latter option.

 

[ZimZum]

I was gonna start the same thread. Murali must have been throwing hand grenades. Here is his series stats.

Mat O M R W Best Ave Econ SR 5 10

They look like stats of someone like G Lohmann, J Ferris or Fred Spoforth, 1890's style.

Saw a highlight when the Adelaide test was on and immediately thought how is this guy still allowed to bowl in competitive cricket he is the worst chucker ever.

No, he is an extremely talented chucker. One of the best ever

He still confuses the umpires. Saw him bowl a ball last year and it beat the bat and the umpire called strike.

Those figures are near enough to unbelievable.

Geez I hope when we play the Sri Lankans in February/March we go the tonk and not just block everything back

 

[Cooldude]

Watched some highlights of him "bowling" in that series, Jesus, in full speed, coz he chucks it so quick, I swear I saw that he had three right arms. How can ya call that bowling? He really is bending every laws of the game to his own pleasing.

 

[scottywiper]

He usually BOWLS an over every now and again...

 

[thewhippersnapper]

Heard on the cricket that his action might be under investigation again next year. Lets hope so and lets hope he gets banned until he changes his action. Its just not fair that he can do this.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

37 overs ..... 3 for 38 ..... and 20 maidens!!!
Further evidence why we must require our bowlers to actually "bowl" the ball. It's far too easy to put the ball wherever you please if you are pinging them.
Try bowling a dart, and see how close you get to the Triple 20.

 

[lenny&carl]

bowling a dart, hehehe

 

[RaMa]

Make that:

40 21 40 3


Golly England are bad, Sri Lanka are 563/5 and the wickets they get are bloody run outs.

 

[ViperV10]

I would kill to have a bowling average of 11!!!

There is no point kicking up a fuss about him chucking it though...everyone knows it, but no-one in a position of power is prepared to say it because we would then watch half of world cricket (sub-continent) just walk out on the game. Someone needs to take a stand though, he may be a nice guy, but he needs to be told that enough is enough.
