Test Kuhnemann reported for suspect action

[Doggy]

Uhhhh what?

Now has to undergo testing and be cleared

 

[jannissary]

read this too. seems very reactionary for some reason. there's some bowlers with worse actions historically that've been cleared.

crock of shit

 

[largebus]

Another Joel Wilson special?

I thought it looked a bit dodgy at times but nowhere near what Chris Green gets away with.
If he does get a ban or needs to remedy his mechanics youd rather he gets pulled up now than in the middle of the Ashes or a BGT series.

 

[t_94]

Gut feel is he probably chucks it tbh

 

[crows dude]

Hes a chucker but no worse than Murali. Probably better. They changed the rules to fit Murali in so he should be OK

 

[Nuke Fremantle]

He needs to do what Murali did when he went through testing. Just go at half rat power, nice and easy and no problem.

 

[Xtreme]

Australians let us rejoice
For we are a nation of cheats.

 

[Bletch]

Wouldn't worry, I'm fairly confident it's just 14.5 degrees.

 

[Joose]

I think his action is suspect but no more so than Murali

 

[Linda Lovelace]

I think he is a chucker, but not so much that he will fail a controlled test.

And once he's completed that, nobody will be able to call him a chucker with any credibility.

So all the pre-emptively outraged nuffies who think he is bambi that needs to be protected from an investigation should realise that this will probably work in his favour.

"Cricket Australia will liaise closely with the ICC and independent experts in line with ICC regulations. No further comment will be made by Cricket Australia or Matthew until the matter is resolved."

Joel Wilson for sure.

Meanwhile Bumrah can chuck for all he is worth.

It'd be the match referee who expressed his concerns around Kuhnemann's action.

 

[ioppolo]

His side on views are no different to Bumrah's.

You really are clueless about the law aren’t you

Is this a serious comment

so given they had the same match referee for both Tests, are they saying his bowling action was suspect in both tests OR had deteriorated between tests 1 and 2?

 

[hawkman]

Mentioned it in the 1st test that his action looks dodgy especially the quicker one that got a lot of wickets. Would be more obvious if he wore short sleeves but the longer sleeves can hide it a bit

 

[Lia]

There was some suspicion on here about his action so not a huge shock

 

[two blue tiger]

Suspect as, but will be cleared in the blink of an eyelash.

 

[Power Raid]

ugly bowling action in terms of the bent arm straightening

if my understanding of the term "horizontal" is correct, horizontal behind his body, he does bend and then straighten his arm by 40 degrees

 

[outabounds]

I have noticed a bit of straightening but not in the same league as Murali. How could anyone be banned after him?

 

[Teen Wolf]

A report can be made by any of the on-field umpires, match referee, TV umpire and/or reserve umpire.

 

[grumbleguts]

He definitely chucks it, but they bend* the rules for subcontinental players, so they should do it for him.

*apologies... they hyperextend the rules.

4 people were banned the month he retired.
