Aaron Bird

NSW paceman Aaron Bird has once again be reported under Cricket Australia's Doubtful Bowling Action Procedures following the Twenty20 Big Bash match against Western Australia at the WACA on Tuesday.
The 26-year-old was cited by both on-field umpires and is now required to undergo an analysis of his bowling action at the Australian Institute of Sport within 21 days of the report.
It is the third time Bird has been reported for a suspect action and he faces a three month suspension if found to be bowling with an illegal action.
Bird will be available for selection for NSW until the results of this testing are known.

I wonder what the umpires in the Vic v NSW match were doing as it looked dodgy then

source ?

 

[Twizzle]

he should be cited for bowling sh*t in the T/20 game the other night

 

[Johns Magic]

And the NSW Blues let out a huge sigh of relief.

Just a shame it's all a week late.

 

[Marshall_magic]

Ban him for life. He chucks and he's still sh*t.

 

[TheParraboy]

Is he related to Greg Bird ...or Brett Finch?

all the rules changed so Chucky could continue chucking

 

[Sam_the_man]

I though the thread was going to be about Shaun Tate. Is he still throwing them down?

 

[Twizzle]

yeh, he actually bowled pretty well the other night

 

[aussies1st]

One of the few bowlers that can generate pace but I think its time he calls it quits or has a major remodeling of his action.

 

[hineyrulz]

Shame he wasn't pulled up 2 games ago.

 

[Bazal]

I was actually going to ask about this after his sh*t-tacular performances...wasn't he banned for a decent stint last year, the kind of stint I thought he'd still be serving?

 

[Twizzle]

pretty sure it was 3 months Baz

 

[Bazal]

Ah, ok thanks. For some reason I had a year in my head
