I like Trueman a lot but he never struck me as having the best action. He always seemed like a massive tangle of arms and legs with a mop of wavy hair and a ferocious scowl. Also I felt his action was a bit too hurried and not poetry in motion like a few others. Actually would rate Astle and Dillon higher than him.

I used to love Tim May's action, Carins pretty good too

Not voting for anyone else because it'd be a travesty if Ramesh went out. Just a gorgeous action.

You realise that he only gets 1 point if you do that right

Okay, this is a close round, currently Ambrose on 27 points, and Cairns and Powar tied up on 25 points. Will leave it open for a bit as I don't want to cast the deciding vote quite yet.

seriously people. Powar?
