Legit all the time or some of the time?

He reworked his action, keeping arm straight during run up.

In reply to Curtis

He pelt some for sure
Check the last over especially

He was pelting bigly after Wasim was allowed to bat on

I am glad that he has/had such a great career and made money.

But he is a stoner.
Do like me, and watch the replay on Youtube.
Pause it during his delivery and look at his arm

So was Murali and many more.

Chucking regular.

Post a link let's see

In reply to Curtis

You asked for it.

Feel free to pause the video at the deliver point any of his balls.

And this it the last game that just finished.

The funny thing about you guys is that your opinion is worth .... The umpires believe that his deliveries are legit and that is all that counts. As I have said before, when he reads these posts, all he needs to do is have a look around at all his trophies and shrug off these comments.

In reply to PalsofMine

Lol you really under de impression that the umpires think his deliveries are legit?

In these lickit leagues the umpires hands are tied. Especially when it comes to big ticket players.

In reply to TanteMerle

Don't put murali in the same category
Murali had anatomical issues that made his action look suspect, same with akhtar

Narine has had a profitable cricket career for someone who most times bend the rules of the game.

Ironically the same lickit board BCCI was the first to claim he pelts.
They didn't want him to play against India in International cricket.

His Indian club paid to have him change is action, they saw potential.
He had problems with CWI and T&TCB and vowed to never play for them again. ( Bassarath)

India has paid him and other countries over 30 million US to play cricket.

Pandit...just stick to doing your pujas , till Trump deport your rass from Florida

there is too much personal gains at stake for

umpires
commentators
etc

to call anything they see that might need a second look

not saying this is what is the case here with Narine but no umpire, commentator etc would risk it for the fear of not getting their next IPL gig, etc...

it is what it is

ps: Simon Doull asked a question - how is it that TRK is able to pay for all the stars they have if there is a salary cap...he did it in jest but it is a reasonable question. Doull is not unknown for making these sorts of calls but he is still careful...and he is good for tv

So so confusing these gyrations and genuflecting

Umpires can’t call Narine because their hands are tied for big ticket players

Simultaneously and at the same time and concurrently…small ticket player Polly is a bully but umpires untie dem hands last night

In reply to doosra

Maybe Doull hands tied too

In reply to SnoopDog

And GAW cyah even play "mickey mouse"cricket.

In reply to Halliwell

They will come up with all the theories to prove to themselves,nobody else cares about what they are trying to say.As some people say in London,they should just "keep schtum".

In reply to Halliwell

In reply to granite

read the above theory and see what you make of it

In reply to sgtdjones

Having watched him in recent years I am confident that Narine does not pelt in IPL and its reflected in the lack of turn he get on turning wickets. But his action is far less pure in CPL and regional tournaments. Those off breaks were turning a mile yesterday, especially after the Wasim incident

In reply to Logic

So was Hosein...see the opening over...

In reply to Logic

Narine's action in every single CPL tournament I've seen him play is nothing short of diabolical.

I don't watch the IPL so I don't know if he makes a concerted effort to not pelt in that tournament.

I duh call him Chuck NoRine fuh nuthin
