Cricket - shabbir's action

An excerpt from Column "Throwing out the stigma"
"Cricket today is increasingly facilitative of batting; its administration, its legislation, its appreciation, its celebration, its critique is skewered towards batting. Arguably, though, both disciplines are equally complicated in their technique. Yet only those with technical glitches in their bowling are legislatively reprimanded; a batsman who has no footwork, a crooked backlift or an uncertain trigger movement - all defects in strictly conventional terms - faces no such action. In fact, in his vocation he can be feted still. The game finds it unthinkable to impose such restrictions on batting. It's a glib comparison but one that provokes some thought; why is a dodgy bowling action a moral affront to the game and a dodgy batting technique not?"

Can't Osman understand that Shabbir chucks.... if he is doing he should not be allowed to bowl...
the comparison of batsman lacking techinique and bowlers not having the flexibility is the funniest arguement i will ever listen to support chucking of shabbir.
Moreover batsman have rules..they cant bring a bat of 1 foot width..cant have steel in it...there are rules that dont give un fair advantage to a batsman... similarly a bowler should not have unfair advantage...by chucking!!

oh god... how can even somebody compare these stuff!!

may be i should be on the editorial board of cricinfo....

anyway!!
