WEST INDIES have again been jolted by the suspension of one of their major spinners, this time their most prominent.

As much to the point, Sunil Narine’s censuring by the umpires for a suspect action in successive matches for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKK) in the Champions League that ended in Bengaluru yesterday is further evidence that the International Cricket Council (ICC) has finally grasped the game’s most agonising nettle it had attempted for too long, albeit with good intentions, to handle with kid gloves.

It has changed its softly-softly approach to the burgeoning number of bowlers with flawed actions – in plain language, throwers, chuckers, pelters, stoners, call them what you will — and now encourages umpires to report those they deem to be transgressing.

Well it is a good move to get control of the evolution of the cricket game, as was mentioned in the article, many young players are copying the actions of these suspect bowlers which eventually could become the norm if it is allowed to continue.

Nice article Coz.

Good to hear Amby working with Jordan and Beaton.

Do you think Narine is operating outside the 15 degrees limit? The question is not if his elbow is straightening - it clearly is, the question is, is it more than 15 degrees?

They will test him.

They said when they reviewed video his flex looked like it exceeded...
