Why only Australians. A true Cricket fan will call Malinga a chucket. He can bowl so fast due to his strange action and gets uneven bounce. I'll say Not just Malinga, Brett Lee, Akhtar upto some extent Flintoff and each delivery of Muralidharan should be banned from Cricekt.

I know Jeff Thomson having same action. But it diesn't mean you have not taken action at that time so you are not supposed to take action now also. Bowlers and Muralidharan and Malinga (May be inspired by Thomson) are setting wrong trends into the new generation. Rules are not meant to define before game starts. You need to make the rules and amend them as and when required. Now it's time to rethink on that.

Well if Flintof is a chucker then Harbajan, Shreeshant too are chuckers. Their action is almost close to what flintof bowls

I said some deliveries of Flintoff. Harbhajan also chucks his some deliveries. Thanks for reminding. I forgot about all Indian HEROES. Anyway they'll out of international Cricket now.

Only Muralidharan has set a trend in Sri Lanka to bowl with strange actions. First of all he should be banned. Doctors say that it is geneticla fault with his bones. Then why are you playing cricket. If you have genetical fault that doesn't mean you need follow cricket rules for bowling.
