Reported by Joel Wilson and Adrian Holdstock? The two worst umpires in world cricket? They don't even know what an LBW is and you want to tell me they can analyse a bowling action? Piss off

Mate of mine called it in the big bash. Said they showed a slow mo of his quicker ball that bowled Lynn, and called it 100% a chuck

Matthew: "I'm an Aussie fan who is called Matthew haha. However, I'm a bit concerned about Kuhnemann's bowling action... his arm sometimes seems slightly bent shortly before he releases the ball. Am I being delusional?" --- As someone who has defended Murali all his life, yes you are Matthew, yes you are.

His action is suspect & has rightfully been called out, IMO---TBH,I hadn't really noticed it until now---in slow motion it certainly looks suspect to me--this could go either way---it's got to affect his bowling going forward for sure;even if cleared !!

Sure.

You'll find plenty like it though. This is soft diplomacy.

Mike Hussey told a story about this game on a podcast a few months back.

Ponting was on 98 not out with 2 balls to go in the innings and Hussey was on strike.

Huss said it was like his 3rd game for Australia at this point and was still a bit nervous about gelling with the squad and trying to get Ponting's respect.

So wasn't sure weather to get the single or do the team thing and keep slogging.

He said the decision was taken out of his hands when Andre Adams bowled this pie so he whacked it for 6 haha he then looked to the other end worried wtf have i done. I have just cost Ponting a chance for a 100 by retaining the strike for the last ball of the innings.

He finally looked up the other end after about 10 seconds and Ponting just nodded his head with the tick of the approval like your done the team thing Huss well done.

A bit of by-play but little moments in history no one remembers until someone brings it up on a podcast.

is this more money for NZ cricket but less potential audience on TV?

possibly, lot of people gave up Sky subscriptions - but a lot still have them, they charge like a wounded rhino and don't deliver much tbh... that said, I'll be watching the tests
