Yes, a young Warwickshire player left cricket after failing the test and I'm pretty sure at least one other was tested.

Tbh was thinking of international cricket and not domestic cricket and the London guy didn't get tested by the way the guy still claims his action was legal but the stigma he faced in domestic cricket forced him to retire.

Tbh he really left because his bowling was average at best and actually struggled bowling in his last few years.

Really meant in recent times and not past testing.

Since the clampdown not sure any Englishman Indian or Aussie got tested yet.
Surprised eranga getting tested now and if eranga getting tested then most fast bowlers should as well.

Most of the slow bowlers tested and failed are the so called mystery spinners, few if any spinners in England are in that category, no doosra's in sight.

I noticed one of the SL pace bowlers was chucking a bit. Not sure any of the England seamers are throwing as obviously.

Tbh I find Broad bouncer really bad, alway see the bend in his elbow.
Also you don't actually need to bowl a doosra to chuck. You can be chucking if you action is not really correct.

Arthur was the bowler eranga

If they do the testing hoping the testing procedure is fair riduculous how the Bangladesh seam bowler got banned for bowling when only his bouncer was illegal and all his other delivery were fine and when he got reported he didn't even bowl one bouncer yet when tested he was asked to only bowl bouncers.

I don't like Finn's action although the bending of his elbow might be before he's right in his delivery stride.

Zafar Ansari chucks it and he's not a mystery spinner.

Yes, it doesn't look quite right. Not sure it's the huge flex you see with some spinners though

Shortish right armer with no beard, so reckon so.

It looks to me that most pace bowlers bowl with a bit of flex deliberately now, as if coached that way. But it's not the huge throw you get from Ajmal or Narine, so I've come to accept it as a lesser evil.

The point is arthur if they picking on pace bowlers now, they should pick on all of them now, since I really do think vast majority of fast men chuck on some deliveries.
lets not forget the whole reason of spinners getting away with it was because icc reckon it was fine when it wasn't

the report states if you see flexing the chances are the bowlers are chucking.
far better to eradicate it in the early stage.

Agree with someone on cricinfo the player should only be reported before a tour or after a tour not in a middle of tournament/series.

Gloucestershire off-spinner Jack Taylor has been suspended from bowling for a second time by the England and Wales Cricket Board after being reported for a suspected illegal action.
He previously served a ban in 2013, which was lifted after nine months, but has again been reported for analysis.
The 24-year-old has taken 14 wickets in this season's County Championship.

"Taylor's bowling action displayed elbow extension in excess of the permitted 15 degrees," said the ECB.

Eranga has been suspended, which isn't a surprise.

Seems he's in hospital having been admitted with heart problems. Hope he's ok.

Hafeez is being re-tested..always been suspect..even if he is cleared, not sure he can justify his place in the test..or in the test side at least, he has struggled for a while..
