Five cricket World Cup teams to roll the dice on bowlers' suspect actions

Quote:[size=12pt]Six bowlers who came under official scrutiny during the recent crackdown on throwing are set to run the gauntlet at next month's World Cup, the first global event to be staged under the new, hardline approach to suspect actions.

West Indies, Pakistan, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe have all named in their 15-man World Cup squads players who have served suspensions for illegal bowling actions, either at international or domestic level, since June last year.

An ICC spokesman said while there would be no specific instructions given to umpires to be on the lookout for dodgy actions at the World Cup, there has been a rash of reports and suspensions since the ICC empowered match officials to enforce the rules.[/size]

Serious business dis.

The other teams will be watching Narine closely. Any hint of >15 and there will certainly be behind the scenes complaints to the umps.

Hope WICB know what they doing.

Narine should have been in SA to try out de action.

I agree!


If he had remedial work, SA would have been appropriate to get match practice, as he has not played for a while, and regain confidence with his action.

This is a call by the Indo and Ozzie team


the WC not even start and they start their cheating


take the opp out early

It call strategy.

I think no one would deny that Narine flexes. The question is is >15 degrees (or is it 17 or 19)?

Narine is a dangerous bowler so if I am Oz or India or whoever I complaining early to de umps, drawing it to their attention that I tink de man flexing more than permissible.

Holder did not bowl Samuels in de first ODI.
