Anag Ram Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Just heard the commentators say that the spinners may take advantage of marks where the bowlers have followed through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smiffy Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Couple of observations about this test match,1)Someone should tell Cook to stop wasting revues when he is obviously out,that is THREE times this series.2) Take a close look at Starc's action, IMHO when putting in the extra effort, he throws.

Yes and probably - but if he did, the ICC would just change the rules again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smiffy Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I'm interesting to hear how you justify this.When you see a view of him bowling face on, he brings his arm over in a circular motion, but sometimes, either striving for position, or extra pace, he seems to bend his elbow and then straightens it again on delivery, that is a throw in my opinion.

eddie Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I'm not 100% convinced there's a problem - he is, like Glenn McGrath, a very 'wristy' pace bowler who snaps his hand forward at the point of delivery. There's always a few degrees of elbow movement, but with many pace bowlers it doesn't tend to be at the point of delivery. I've not paid a great deal of attention to him though - he's hardly a threat compared to Harris or Siddle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see enough of a straightening of the elbow to suggest throwing. It's the action of the wrist. It looks weird when you see it but it's ok in my opinion.

He's got more of a future than I thought Shaun Tait would have, for example. Tait's action, with its dead straight lead leg on delivery, was always going to be a problem. No matter how much he tries to say he's taking a break or whatever, Starc will become a very good bowler. Possibly as soon as the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree about Shaun Tait's straight leg - a Graham Dilley wannabe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
