Chucking

I think there was a Base Ball player in inter national level - Played for USA with one hand. Should have watched his the film. It was really really nice. You would never insult a handicapped person again.

Then a proper bowler is a FOOL!!!
by Vignesh on May 27, 2003 07:57 PM

According to this expert everyone who bowls according to a coaching manual is a FOOL. If these guys have a disability then let them go and play cricket for disabled. People view it in real time, we dont need 3D glasses to view cricket let them go and play 3D cricket in computer. People who bend their arms at the point of delivery is a chucker. And Muralitharan complains about people who pad him away, when he bowls people will play him with a bat. If he becomes the highest wicket taker in this game then it is a shame for this great game. And people who say Brett Lee chucks say that bcos they dont like Australia.

foster is right.most bowlers that i have seen in action in the last 25 years have chucked at one time or another.for example: take the best bowler in the world today,mcgrath from australia.take out from the archives videos featuring him in the early days of his career.he most definitely threw the faster short pitched delivery.
with regards to bedi oops mr.bedi's opinion about muralitharan i have only this much to say,pls dont take him seriously.murali is simply a great bowler who has a congenital physical problem like the one b s chandreshakar(great indian leg spinner)

How to become a great chucker
by Dr T.S. Raman on May 20, 2003 10:16 PM

At the age of seven or so, get surgery done on your elbow to fix it at 38º. After the surgery wounds have healed, start playing cricket, especially off-spin bowling. If you just happen to be chucking, it can always be explained away as being due to your physical disability.
PS: One hopes similar excuses could be found for no-balls due to overstepping, bouncers, beamers, and grub-balls.

Can this report be published?
by Binil Thomas on May 20, 2003 05:01 PM  | Hide replies

Foster hints that his findings can be understood and evaluated by a non-technical person (he invited Bedi etc). So can this be made available so that the general public can get an idea of what is happening?

Peace,
Binil

Most Bowlers Chuck, Says Foster
by Rakesh Rawat on May 20, 2003 03:06 PM

As far as a game is Concern all the Players should have the equal availability of resources, no one should have any advantage of being born with some defect in the normal movements of his body parts. If Some one with Non hypermobile arm bents , bowls with the same action as the murli bowls than he should not be Called chucker because a Crime done by either a Normal Person or man with one arm or one leg, will be treated at par and will be given same punishment.

What I also, want to draw into the attention of the ICC Officials that , Some of the bowlers donnt give their hand a Vertical rotation tather an Sideways(Horizontal Rotation) same is the case with Sanath Jayasuriya. So is this a Legal action. The Action of Australian Leggi Stuart Mac Gill Falls into this category.

Mr. Foster is talking thru his hat.. he was after-all on the pay-roll of both SL & Pak boards.. & pray why should Bedi be jealous of Murali??These two guys hv an unfair advantage of others .. sadly its too late for the ICC to do anything about it as they are record-breakers & have gone into the history books.Its best 2 ignore ignore Fosters' comment..

a totally biased report
by vishnu on May 20, 2003 01:44 PM

it is more a question of whether these chuckers are getting an advantage from their disabilities-the answer being straight and simple-YES.shoaib is the fastest bowler ever & murali spins it more than anybody ever.fosters report is totally biased &really not worth reading
