Shane Shillingford

Post by jaybro »

I think there are a few Zimbabwean cricketers / fans watching to see just how well Shillingford bowls here in India ......

There was alot of split opinons about this guy after the W.I. v Zimbabwe series, after he cleaned up the Zimbo's and left them all red faced some people argued he is still nothing special because his tally of wickets came mostly against Zimbabwe ......

It seems no one remembers he also gave the Aussies alot of problems a few years back ......

Im hopeing he cleans the Indians up so he gets the credit he deserves and the Zimbo batsman get some credit back, as Im typeing this he has 2-24 ......

Why am I not surprised that Shillingford's action has only now been reported after taking loads of wickets against India? But if someone with a dubious action runs through a side like Zim it's ok or what? Proof once again for the double standards that exist in the game.

Or am I completely wrong and Shillingford's action completely deteriorated in Mumbai???

I agree with that. And the latest news being Shillingford's action has been ruled illegal. So, what does that say about India's confidence and clout in terms of complaining about the action and Zimbabwe's inability to do so? These power centres we have are affecting the game in many many more ways than we know, and they are affecting badly, and irrevocably.
