“Nashad, walk into any pub during summer in Australia and you will find people who will tell you that Lee or Tait is a chucker.”

We should have just gotten the fcking south koreans to clone McGrath and been done with it. Even if the clones didn’t live long, can always make more.

jogesh, I guess you are being sarcastic(?). Anyway, I am all for BCCI taking the veto power. Because in a few years, their influence will wane, and sure bet, ECB and ACB will take the veto power when their influence increases. We better make hay while the sun shines.

Homer or someone with the inclination to build blog posts with solid proofs must start building up the list of indian domestic bowlers called for chucking this season and going forward. In a few years, we should be able to throw such statistics at Aussies who take the moral high ground. That way, we can still continue to play chuckers who are good enough for intl cricket, while still maintaining an image of purity and morality. That’s what Oz and Eng have been doing for years anyway. Let’s learn from them – the trickery, guile and cunning.

Raj, we got the power, we just ban the umpire who has the temerity to call one of ours. And lets get that damn veto power back in the hands of those who rule now, shall we.

I must add that the Indian board has wisened up – they have started banning a few second-rate spinners who dont have a remote chance of making the Indian team, for chucking. In a few years, we can build up enough cases of chuckers domestically banned(but these will be average bowlers who never stood achance to make it to intl cricket anyway!) so that we can also claim that “We filter out chuckers at domestic levels” while continuing to allow the intl level chuckers.
haha! If Aussies can do it, so can we – this whole moral hogwash

Ok, let me start this strategic initiative
Harbhajan singh chucks his doosra. Doosra, harbhajan chucks it. Doosra is chucked by Harbhajan.
There you have an instance of an Indian condemning an Indian chucker. I urge my fellow Indian blog commenters to spread the word in as many blogs as possible – that way we can also build up a substantial proof of Indians having condemned a chucker
(dont worry, Bhajan will never be banned just as Lee wasnt. This is jut to build up the same moral high ground that Ozzies love to take while they continue to perform the same actions as us!)

But is Lee hounded in the media like a Murali or Akthar (for chucking alone, God knows Akthar has enough other things for the media to hound him) is.

If a Aussie chucker spinner comes along, what will happen is he will continue to play and take 300+ intl wickets, while a lot of people in Oz continue to ‘call’ him a chucker.
That’s cool – asian nations need to start following the same strategy. Well, they do half of it already because chuckers in Asian nations continue to play international cricket but they need to master the latter part also – keep taking the moral high ground without doing anything concrete

Most Aussies I know think Brett Lee chucks.

If Tait isn’t a chucker, then no-one can ever be called a chucker.
