Samuels a Chucker?
« on: January 05, 2013, 11:04:52 PM »

Not sure how genuine this is but I know Lehmann got a fine for questioning Samuels action:-



Sydney:     Brisbane Heat coach Darren Lehmann was Thursday officially reprimanded and slapped with a suspended fine by cricket officials after questioning the bowling action of West Indian Marlon Samuels.

Cricket Australia said Lehmann was convicted of breaching the Code of Behaviour with remarks in a media interview after the Heat's loss to the Melbourne Renegades in Australia's Twenty20 Big Bash League on Saturday night.

"At a hearing today, Commissioner John Price found Lehmann guilty of breaching Rule nine: Detrimental Public Comment," the governing body said.

"Lehmann received an official reprimand and a Aus$3,000 fine suspended for two years."

The Heat coach questioned why Samuels, whose bowling has often come under scrutiny in a turbulent career, was allowed to play in the Big Bash League when he was banned from bowling in the Indian Premier League due to suspect action.

"If he is deemed legal, I'm totally understanding of that. But from my point of view, from 20 years' cricket, I have got a problem with 120kmh off no steps," Lehmann said.

Under Cricket Australia rules a player or official must not "denigrate or criticise another player or denigrate or criticise an official, umpire, referee or team against which they have played or will play"

His quicker ball is a chuck.
Of Bothaesque proportions.

Looks like a chuck to me! A bit harsh on Lehmann, although maybe he shouldn't have said anything! :-[

Yeah I've seen him bowl about through this BBL rubbish. If he doesn't chuck, then my darts technique must be pretty poor, cos they are pretty similar.

Cricket Australia are on a crusade to ensure noone associated with Australian cricket has an opinion that has not been regulated and approved.

You can only call a spade a spade if you are prepared to pay a fine.

Samuels the drama starter.

Warne vs. Samuels was good fun in tonight's BBL game.

Indeed, that was quite a brutal top edge into his face.

bit rich Chucker Botha coming to his defense:-

Ridiculous really. The whole thing with Warne was hilarious! I dont think Warne should be allowed to retire, if its not an Ashes return its this! Would anyone watch the BBL without him?

Pretty clear for me that his quicker ball is a chuck, I cant understand why he is allowed to bowl in the BBL when banned by the IPL?

biggest problem is the 15 degrees rule. It's become a license to chuck. Ajmal, Botha, Samuels because they can. You can hardly bowl a doosra (Saqlain the exception) without chucking it. Murili had a deformity that could be excused, the guy just couldn't straighten his arm. However the rest are bending the rules and they need to be tightened to 5 degrees ie. barely off straight

So we want the IPL to be the guideline for rulings around the world do we? I'd much rather the BBL did their own investigation upon recieving a report from the umpires

Or even better - the ICC investigated him
