Who was the bloke who came over here from Zimbabwe and played an ODI? He’d been in the media before the game and seemed such a good bloke, did a lot of media and everyone loved him. It might have been Blessing someone or other.

Then he bowled his first over and there was silence in the commentary box for all six balls as everyone took in his action before Richie Benaud said “there are a lot of things young bowlers have to learn as they make their way in international cricket, and I think Blessing ....... is going to find out what a few of them are.”

His action was probably the worst I’ve ever seen.

Unless there's been some pretty blatant throwers to hit the scene in the last few years, it has to be Ajmal.

I mean his teesra was literally just him running up to the crease and throwing it at batsmen.

David Gower technically counts I suppose.

Given that Tony Lock, when he saw himself on film, immediately changed his action he must have been as blatant as anyone

"I'm not sure that's a totally legal delivery, but keep him on."
- Very, very rare gold from Ian Healy in that clip.

"He's working within the 15 degrees that's for sure"

I think Heals is referring to the 40-55 degrees range
