Bird guilty of chucking
New South Wales fast bowler Aaron Bird has been suspended from domestic cricket after being found to have an illegal bowling action. Bird was reported three times during the course of the domestic season by the umpires and after a series of tests were done at the AIS biomechanics institute in Canberra, it was found that some of Bird's deliveries were not within the 15-degree legal limit for bowlers.
Bird now has 90 days to remodel his action and can appeal the decision after the 90-day period. He must then demonstrate that his action is within the laws of the game before being allowed to compete on the domestic scene. Bird was forced to change his action is 2007-07 after similar concerns were raised.
Bird banned due to illegal action

Another blow for New South Wales. Lee and Clark are out injured and with Bollinger and Hauritz on the tour of South Africa it leaves very little in the cupboard for them. They will have to reply on Mark Cameron, Beau Casson, Dom Thornely, Grant Lambert, Burt Cockley and co to get the job done for them with the ball. Mitch Starc has come into side as a replacement and Josh Hazlewood may be a chance to play with only a handful of Shield games left.
