So would literally any spinner in the game.

Apart from the fact that I'm 99% sure Ohja is a fully paid member of the long sleeve club too. I've always found his action iffy and I'm quite sure if they continue down this path, he will be called eventually too.

PS if we do lose Narine (which I highly doubt) Devendra Bishoo may well return to international cricket and he is a pretty damn good leggie, far more talented than many of the spinners mentioned more recently in this thread. I guess every cloud has a silver lining.

Waqar is the latest to have a massive sook over the ICC's crackdown on chuckers:

The olympics should only test for doping after the medals are given out too. Don't want to disturb their preparation!

The only shock here is that the rest of the top 4 aren't Benn, Shillingford and Nikita Miller

Ah yes, a blast from the past. Dave could bowl, just unfortunately not well enough for test cricket as he hardly spun his chinaman deliveries. His cult status was fun for a while but ultimately he was a bit of a fool and his antics became annoying.
Rawl Lewis was the West Indian Ian Salisbury, so the less said about him the better..
Ramnarine was actually a class leg spinner IMHO. Many other teams would have made something of him, he had all the tools. Unfortunately, he liked his Rotis a bit too much and had a poor attitude to fitness. Hooper refused to have him in his team and froze him out. These events made Dinas the most militant players association leader in living memory!

"I am surprised over my action being reported because I am bowling like this for the last 11 years," he said. "I have played six major world events: two World Cups and three World Twenty20s and nobody had ever questioned my action, this is a big surprise for me."
Given that the good Professor appears unable to count to six, it seems unlikely that he has any knowledge of whether his flex exceeds fifteen degrees.

pretty much comes back to needing to weed it out in school cricket because the longer you keep a habit the harder it is to break. But of course, mentioning chucking is utter taboo and sour grapes even when the opposition opening bowler practically asks where the diamond is.
