3rd ODI: Australia vs South Africa SCG 23rd Jan 2009

[Bazal]

Our middle order has been despicable this series, for the most part

Chucky gets Haddin caught and bowled

 

[El Diablo]

they've ruined a good start and can only blame themselves

 

[Twizzle]

geez, too many soft dismissals

Botha's action still looks very sus

 

[Meth]

mini collapse here

 

[aussies1st]

Great lets fall apart to another no name spinner.

 

[hineyrulz]

FFS this i pretty crap......

 

[El Diablo]

well you can't ban him seeing they set a precedent with chucky

 

[Bazal]

well you can't ban him seeing they set a precedent with chucky

I reckon this chucky is easily as bad as that chucky

 

[Ridders]

There is definetly a bend of the arm in his action, but given the 15 degree bs, i don't think his action would be considered illegal.

 

[hineyrulz]

Lasst time Botha was out here his action was a lot more Chucky.

 

[aussies1st]

All I can say is thank God we played Warner, still in a good position even with the stupid middle order.

 

[Spike]

not if you're playing baseball anyway

 

[Ridders]

We should still make 300. Anything less would be a disgrace.

 

[Tommy Smith]

If they ban Botha then while they're at it they can ban that other Mr Chucky Suspect in this match - Little Man T...

 

[Matt23]

Speaking of Tait, his actions been cleared has'nt it?

 

[Twizzle]

If they ban Botha then while they're at it they can ban that other Mr Chucky Suspect in this match - Little Man T...

cant ban anyone Tommy, all they can do is report his action

then we go through this ridiculous exercise of checking thier action indoors and due to the stupid rules he can bend his arm 15 degrees and its deemed OK, he's already been reported and tested

then he can go out in th middle and bend his arm as much as he likes

its a f**king joke

Agreed. Surely there's a way to perform tests on a player in the middle covertly? Those slow mo cameras and some gadgetry could surely come up with an angle, and it's not like there's a lack of all kinds of cameras on a cricket field these days

 

[gong_eagle]

Listening to the ramblings of Greig and Lawry is driving me f**kin crazy :crazy:

 

[El Diablo]

they did once have a test done when players were bowling under match conditions

it was at one of those ICC ODI tournaments

Chucky was mysteriously absent but used figures from those tests to call McGrath and others chuckers

Rather amused by Tony's reference to Jonty Rhodes. He said he's probably making a note of things in his home in Durban.

He's either oblivious to the fact that Jonty Rhodes is in Australia playing Beach Cricket or he's just purposly not acknowledging it cuz it being shown on a rival network.
