Bowlers Reported As Chuckers in cricket history

JASON · 02-05-2004, 01:12 AM

As far as I am aware (with limited knowledge of cricket history) the following are bowlers who have been reported as chuckers in the past-
Sonny Ramadhin (West Indies) - Slow or spin bowler

Bishen Singh Bedi (India) - Slow or spin bowler

Current Bowlers:
Muralitharan(Sri Lanka) - Slow or spin bowler

Shoaib Akhtar(Pakistan)

Harbajan Singh(India) - Slow or spin bowler

Jermaine Lawson(West Indies)

James Kirtly(England)

Kyle Mills (New Zealand)

Grant Flower(Zimbabwe) - Slow or Spin bowler

Some one from Kenya (name eascapes me)

I would be interested if members of the forum could add any other names either past or present.

I also heard somewhere that Bruce Yardley was once called for throwing (but not in an international). May have just been a rumour though.

Present:
Shabbir Ahmed (Pak)

As far as I know, Kyle Mills has never been reported.

I didn't know that Sonny Ramadhin had been called, but I do know that a lot of people had serious reservations about Wes Hall's action.

By 'chuckers' I think he means bowlers who've been called for throwing, not fat-boy jelly-bellies who hurl in the gutter after 15 pints, a vindaloo and a packet of pork scratchings.

And you criticised Marc for sarcasm?

Pot, meet kettle.

And who mentioned Blackwell?

Are we omitting Henry Olonga out of respect?

And just for statistical completeness (in Tests):

E.Jones (Aus)
G.A.R.Lock (Eng)
G.M.Griffen(SA)
Haseeb Ahsan (Pak)
I.Meckiff (Aus)
S.Abid Ali (ind)
D.I.Gower (Eng)
H.R.Olonga (Zim)
M.Muraliduran(SL)
(List published 1998)

As a footnote, Eddie Gilbert, Queensland aboriginal fast bowler and the man Bradman said was the fastest he ever faced was also called for throwing several times despite having his action cleared by the best umpire in the land.

I think someone was called for throwing in the 1830s simply because he was bowling overarm.

Wasn't the first person to bowl overarm, in fact, a lady? I believe she had to as her dress got in the way of her bowling underarm.

Great isn't it?

Tom Halsey · 02-05-2004, 12:23 PM

David Gower bowled with great veriety, full tosses and long hops.

Don't know why he even bowled to get called for chucking.

Think back to India's tour of New Zealand in 02/03.
