Gilchrist

I'll try that Dipper. Just tried the action out in my house and I nearly put my arm out!

Point taken - thanks, I've learnt something tonight.

Back to the topic of Adam Gilchrist, the meeting with him and James Sutherland from the ACB went 4 hours tonight with the Australian Vice-Captain being repremanded for his comments.

I'd like to know why on earth did the hearing go for 4 hours? Still I was glad Gilchrist didnt get fined or a suspended sentence. He didnt even deserve a repremand for voicing his own opinions in what he thought was a closed forum.

Seindude, my problem is that the umpires cannot call a chuck....its a no ball, like overstepping, and should be called as such...the Sri lankan referred to, Perierra(sorry about spelling) was BLATANTLY and OBVIOUSLY throwing in the Lords test, but couldnt get called.

Mark Butcher is now in the same boat as Gilly, said Perierra was obviously throwing in a local newspaper column here.

London Dave,

Ruchira Perera is the Sri Lankan left-arm medium fast bowler who's the latest to have their bowling action questioned. I know what you're saying about the umpires being able to call a no-ball when if he believes it's an illegal delivery, but it shouldn't even get to that stage!! Why wasn't this guy's action detected before he even made the Sri Lankan team???

Cheers!!
