Throughout the test series I felt that Shoib was chucking his effort ball. It was clearly visible to naked eye atleast to my naked eye. ICC might call it optical illusion but I think he needs to be tested again under the newly revamped rules. Gavaskar yesterday discussing on ESPN sportcenter mentioned that ICC does not clear a bowler of chucking for life time and one can be reported again and again. Isn't time to do something about it ?
Trevor Chesterfield writing for IE has the same views.
"So when India’s coach passed comments about Shoaib Akhtar’s action, it should be known where the middle Chappell brothers was coming. There was something decidedly peculiar about Shoaib’s action when he bowled in Karachi.
Watching on television is, admittedly, hardly the same as being at the venue. But Shoaib’s action was noticeably slingshot and thus suspect at times and it appeared he was out to deliberately hit the batsmen. Snow didn’t need to do that. He was too good."
