About time.
Our bowlers are just taken apart by anyone who does not like them and our Board just shrugs.
Why not get a legal angle into it also?
Threaten to sue both BCCI and ICC.
Maybe we can cancel out that 42 mil.

A step in the right direction , we need to test our suspicious bowlers before they play regionally and internationally . So when the big three says they are chucking we can validate, dismiss or correct at home .

That looks like a fig leaf if there ever was one. A better move would be to examine and reform the coaching procedures to ensure that the young players do not develop suspect actions in the first place. people do not get called if their action is pure. It may be argued that suspect actions in players from other places do not get called, but that is beside the point. We do not want to develop marginal players we want cricketers who are above reproach and who can be good models to other aspiring players. As good as Narine was at what he did, I could never in good conscience point to him and say to a young bowler "do it like him".
