If you're saying it's logical to assume everyone bowled this way, why couldn't I? Because I couldn't prove it was one reply. So obviously, you can see why there is such a backlash to some people's actions because of this. Furthermore, if all the talk of accuracy and being equitable being prime, I can't amuse the notion of judging people without proof.
Its pretty cut and dried - according to the old rule, chucking = ANY elbow flexion after the arm has entered its horizontal position in the final swing and before letting go of the ball.
According to that, anybody with any elbow flexion is a chucker.
ICC testing proves that almost all bowlers surveyed are chuckers with the only exception of Sarwan.
Therefore, it is logical to say that almost all bowlers chucked in the past too and the onus is on the one claiming otherwise to prove that claim, given that it goes against the scientifically established precedence.
Just like if you claim anything out of the ordinary,you are the one who has to prove it, not others who have to disprove it.
