Which 'most non Pakistani supporters' are you talking about?

England have Harmison & Flintoff
Australia have Lee & McGrath
South Africa have Ntini & Pollock
New Zealand have Bond
West Indies have Edwards
India have Khan & Pathan

Can't remember any of the other nations supporters ever posting in here, unless you mean you talk to them in the real world, if you ever go there.

Think about it this way, if a bowler bowls 99% of his deliveries with an action which is perfectly fine, then get's no balled for chucking one delivery every now and then there shouldnt be a problem. That's what happens with the front foot rule, it should be the same with suspect actions, if the umpire think's the bowler has chucked it then he should be called. Doesn't mean he always chucks it, just that that individual delivery should be noballed.

Thats crazy, everytime an umpire sees a dodgey action he will no ball it, thats not gonna be confusing at all, and time taking :rolleyes:

a lot of the umpires are now wscared/worried about reportin particular umpires

Maybe they're right then. He had to remodel his action before, maybe it's gone back to the good old days. He has a suspect looking action with certain deliveries, that's a fact, otherwise people wouldn't go on about it would they:)

SO iff he remoddeled his action to a legal one then *** is the problem? :confused:
 
whooops, i just saw the youtube vids and saw all his actions its the same as the 2005 eng pak series, its slightlychnaged from the world cup 2003, hislast second approach is out from the stumps, but this series he just gets closer, when he bhounces the ball thats where the main hyperextension comes in.
 
His bowling action definately does look suspect, but iv always thought thats due to his arm being abit 'bent' when extended, shows it here actually...

I suppose if the ICC has cleared his action then all is good, but yeah I can understand people saying it looks dodgy at times, because it clearly does. I hope he stays fit for all the remaining games, we really need to win this series.

Back on topic,

it will be the 2nd odi in london -lords, weather isnt looking fab and most likely its going to clear up at around 4pm so wether we are going to get a match or not will be upto the umpires and the state of the outfield,

If you read the thread how did you miss the fact I said exactly what you did on the same damn page? :rolleyes:
 
God this is depressing :( England stink at one day cricket.

18-3 now with Bell out caught behind wafting at a wide one.

Chucker or not I think we can count ourselves lucky Akhtar wasnt fit for the tests!!
