All his variations failed the test, he'll need more than a note from his doctor to get off this one.Dont worry he will be bowling in the world cup because he has a natural bend in his arm.... And he will get a médical report for it.
That he has the same action now does not mean the physical stress of bowling a lot has not affected the elbow flex in his delivery. If he was always over the 15 degrees he would've been picked up earlier. If he gets cleared it is because he has done work to get things right again.No he still has the same action. He will be bowling on the 2015 world cup
I reckon the change that will happen in the future is a cheap standardised artificial pitch for all cricket. It will come about because of a need in T20 for consistency but it will slowly happen to the longer formats.Hmm tricky subject, a part of me errs on the side of the purist, but I'm fully aware that all these kind of situation have occurred before with people throwing their arms up in the air in disgust along with much gnashing of teeth. The transition from under-arm to side arm, then from there to over arm, then the Googly and I'm sure there's been issues with other changes in the game, different formats of the game for one? Bob Woolmer in his book 'The Art and Science of cricket' predicts shorter strips and shorter boundaries as we become increasingly more sedentary in our ways, needless to say crickets got a future of full of changes and tweaks. So I reckon I'll just sit on the fence and see what happens...
Yeah, even from my fence (The one I've been sitting on) 42 degrees is a joke.Glad they pulled him up then, clearly his action is illegal. 42 degrees is a joke.
