That should be the end of the guy's career.

Vitori’s bowling action was filmed in the next match he played after being reported
So they had cameras to record his action but couldn't be arsed doing a live of the event, infuriating :x

Faaark, that's not good.
Peterhouse U14C 4th change bowler and no. 10 batsman (but only because Aaron didn't have a bat).

I can’t believe this bullshit. This poor guy has been through the mill.
They need to be questioning the high performance centre in Pretoria.

Very very strange.. something fishy about this.. how exactly did they record This? We don't have the facilities to do that in Zimbabwe. That's not the process as well. He is supposed to be tested at one of those centres.. this sounds very vindictive. Like they don't want us to make the world cup. Surely we should appeal this.

I did mention before that I had heard his effort ball is suspect but still if he got cleared then why do this to him again? We have to stand up for him here.. sounds like a load of bullshit.

Tbh, to my poor naked eye his action has always looked the same, dodgy.

But yeah, Taps, you're right, what sort of filming was that supposed to be? You need special cameras for this, from different angles too.

We've got to qualify for BV now.

I don't know where he goes from here, but if we qualify it could well be because his final ball in international cricket was a crucial wicket.

It's a long tail. It'd be good to find a decent seamer who can bat a bit - it really makes someone like Tiripano a useful option for Tests (if only he was more potent with the ball).
