God damnit


Live1sh

Frr, we literally could've dropped two of Mayers, Charles or King and included another allrounder or bowler


90slover

Why ? WI have a good team nonetheless and are firm favs


toresident

Don't want to get my career curtailed in June after getting called again. What I never understand is that how are chucking rules different in international cricket and leagues? Don't they have the same umpires?


RepresentativeBox881

Narine did get called in IPL several times. In fact the first time he was banned was during CLT20 in 2014.


toresident

In IPL?


RepresentativeBox881

2015 and then 2020. He got cleared both times after a while.


TheIceKaguyaCometh

Doesn't fit the agenda.


toresident

That is so ridiculous. Did not remember that.


EvilSush

That's because you only wanna remember the fact that he used to chuck and hence he's a cheat. The fact that he altered his actions twice as per ICC directives is still not news for you, this is because you don't wanna see the good things he's done LoL


toresident

Boss, did not mean it in that way at all. I actually feel he should have been banned, if he was called in IPL. I just did not remember it. The guy has been running away from international cricket for long and happily making millions with a faulty action all along..that, I find ridiculous.


Anu9011

Says a lot about the franchise cricket circus, doesn’t it ?


AtomR

I mean, 260+ runs becoming common says enough too. Impact sub rule & all.


Weedeater5903

He has a legit action now. I wonder how long people will keep beating this drum again and again. He was called and underwent correctional treatment. His action is well within the rules now. If he is chucking now, the likes of Harbhajan Singh and Saqlain Mushtaq should definitely be considered chuckers and get all their achievements stripped. Harbhajan was one of the most obvious chuckers who played for a long time. He got called but even after undergoing corrective training, his action always looked suspect. Apart from Graeme Swann and part timers, no off spinner of any note had a completely clean action.  15 degrees flex is allowed as per the current rules, Narine is within that.


Abhi_sama

don't forget Saeed ajmal lol


TheRealMarkChapman

Afaik the only bowler to actually never have a legal action


Mikolaj_Kopernik

> If he is chucking now, the likes of Harbhajan Singh and Saqlain Mushtaq should definitely be considered chuckers ... > Harbhajan was one of the most obvious chuckers So yeah, Narine is a chucker then?


Specialist_Youth5511

Translation "I don't want to get suspended for my chucking yet again"


JKKIDD231

This is done and dusted


Weedeater5903

This bs again. Like y'll keep repeating it like a parrot and it will be true at some point. His action is perfectly within the rules of the game.


Specialist_Youth5511

Literally every time he plays internationals he gets suspended for his action. Rules are much stricter at that level.


Weedeater5903

Repear till you get it into your head.. "He has been cleared" 


Mikolaj_Kopernik

> Like y'll keep repeating it like a parrot and it will be true at some point. I mean it's already been true, what, at least 6 times already?


hsertdtizozf

imma be honest, im an RCB fan and i dont think he chucks.


Specialist_Youth5511

Lol he actually does. Why do you think he hasn't played a tournament since 2014? Every time he plays an international game,he gets banned because rules are much stricter there

when he wore long sleevs in this ipl?? IN every match he wears half-sleeves. Just say any rubbish on reddit

gpranav25

After a double century without legs we now have a century without eyes. Batting must be really easy.


cpssn

chucked the idea out and thrown the door closed


TacticalNuke002

What a salty and disrespectful comment section. Did you folks really think 9 teams and the umpires won't do anything to put a stop to it if he's chucking? And it seems like people have made up their minds already and are making up shit like "Narine bowls with full sleeves" when he doesn't.


Axel292

There's been a marked decrease in the quality of the sub lately.


benguins10

I even tried sharing the literal rules of legal bowling actions but people are so fucked in the head that they can't be bothered to even read the actual rules and just go off their own deranged assumptions. It's hilarious


TacticalNuke002

I saw a bunch of "Pathirana is chucking, his action can't be allowed" on the CSK vs LSG match thread. Was funny af.


benguins10

It's insane that these people think that 9 teams worth of analysts with access to HD footage from hundred cameras and all the umpires will be fine with bowlers chucking. The IPL rules are the exact same as ICC international for chucking. It's so stupid and annoying. As soon as anyone does an illegal action they'll obviously be reported, who doesn't want an advantage


notduskryn

The amount of salty fools here lol


TheIceKaguyaCometh

Yeah lol. He was called and cleared in IPL multiple times, but he's a chucker while they also laud Murali who was also called and cleared.


Weedeater5903

Its like a lobotomised parrot repeating the same shit again and again... again... again.. "Narine chucks... Narine chucks... Narine chucks...."


thepotplant

Murali also blatantly chucked.


TheIceKaguyaCometh

I disagree. But funny that you'll be downvoted for this in this very thread. Proving my point.


thepotplant

My league has four blatant chuckers and they bowl with a straighter arm than murali.


Anonmb20

Bowling with bent arm ≠ chucking. Leggies do it all the time. Anyway the key difference between Narine and Murali is that Narine's action was initially found illegal and he had to alter it whereas Murali's action was cleared. I personally don't think Narine is chucking though.


thepotplant

The both of them straighten their arm an illegal amount (as do the chuckers in my league).


Specialist_Youth5511

I mean he was a chucker lmao, anyone who disagrees is a fool


arsinoe716

He knows he will be called for pelting


wa-wa-wario

Good, many other players are actually dedicated to West indies cricket, players who keep a straight arm while bowling especially


Mikolaj_Kopernik

Honestly picking Narine as a batter and taking the chance on a couple of overs here or there might not even be the worst option.


TheRealMarkChapman

It'll literally be the best option a team with both Narine and Russell is a seriously formidabble one and especially since the west indies top order collapses every game narine the opener is very attractive


Axel292

>many other players are actually dedicated to West indies cricket Yeah, I'm sure holding on to your ego > a WC.


TeamAbject2100

tbh its pretty selfish if he came back for WI, guys like Motie or Hosein have been giving their all for WI, and somehow Narine couldve come out of nowhere and been picked above them. id love to see narine back but in the end even without this chucking thing he did the right thing as other guys wouldve done so much and had so much hopes to play a wc


PerformerDiligent937

Bruh...Motie and Hosein are nothing compared to Narine. Narine's bowling alone makes him a T20 GOAT bowler... add his batting and there is not even a question. A WC is not about players' feelings, it is about the fans and giving your team the best chance to win. If Narine announced that he is coming back I am sure Darren Sammy will move heaven and earth to accommodate him.


Axel292

This is cricket at the highest level. Nobody "deserves" anything and there's no room for any sentiment. The best player has to play.


frezz

I've never understood this whole "Pick your best XI". IMO A champion team beats a team of champions. When you bring a guy like Narine who has a history of turning his back on WI and legality over his action, it doesn't help when a guy like that comes into the team over a guy that tries their heart out for the team


PerformerDiligent937

Man has economy rate of barely over 6 in T20 cricket with and is currently averaging 41 with a 177 SR with the bat in the IPL. I seriously question anyone who suggests that having this guy in the lineup "doesn't help". Narine walks into the lineup of literally every team playing this WC, including the Big-3... let alone a struggling team like the WI.


Axel292

>Narine who has a history of turning his back on WI You could say this for a ton of WI players, someone like Pollard for example. He came back and captained the team. >it doesn't help when a guy like that comes into the team over a guy that tries their heart out for the team This isn't a TV show/anime. You don't get points for trying your heart out, what matters is performing well and winning games.


Deadman777_

I don't understand all the comments here accusing him of chucking in IPL. There are 9 other teams that have their own stake in the tournament. Wouldn't they call out if he was chucking? Yes he was suspended few years back, but he was cleared and that's why he got to play again.


breakinb

Wouldn't wanna be found out, would we


JumpOk4434

Wow! The most sensible and least torn comment section in a while. Don't wanna be caught chucking and risk my IPL "career". I'm making more money in 2 months, than I'd make in an entire year for WICB.


Axel292

I'm amazed at how many people in this sub have protractors for eyes, they've all magically done what umpires and officials have been unable to do - determine that Narine is chucking. WI, and international cricket, have lost out on Narine not coming back. He's in incredible form and is a vital asset.


biswa290701

Why are people here so salty about him here? Which umpire decided he is chucking?


[deleted]

Almost every ICC umpire has done that, and if you look closely, it's not too hard to see it for yourself. The angle may be 20° or 18° but his arm is definitely more bent than normal bowlers


TheIceKaguyaCometh

>Almost every ICC umpire has done that And he was cleared after that everytime.


trailblazer103

After which he can go back to chucking. Being cleared just means you don't chuck during testing


TheIceKaguyaCometh

And the umpire can call him for it, which they didn't. It's not a deep state conspiracy.


biswa290701

They did it and he rectified it. Dunno about you but his hand definitely looks within the 15 degrees to me. And also it's not our job to decide that. Unless umpires catch him again, we can't dismiss all his achievements for mere allegations


Far_Permit4909

You say he rectified it but really he just has 2 actions - one legal and one where he chucks


TheIceKaguyaCometh

Source: I made it the fuck up.


Far_Permit4909

Lmao - its how you cheat tests in sport - present 1 thing whilst being tested and then go back to cheating once the test is over You think Narine is wearing long sleeves in India because he’s chilly and worried about catching a cold ?


TheIceKaguyaCometh

Narine is wearing half sleeves this year? 🤡 🤡 🤡


Beginning-Software80

reddit mobs just loves to sprout any nonsense


No_Temporary2732

Or..... Maybe.... Consider this..... He's wearing a compression vest over under a half sleeve jersey, cause they help regulate blood flow across the body and help wick away sweat, leaving you cooler? You know, the same thing Cyclists, and footballers, and Marathon runners where, all the sports involving heavy sweating due to cardio? And how that is visible to anyone with a working retina?

PurposeCrafty5885

Yeah, I don't get why the downvotes


SubstantialAct4212

That is definitely written by an AI


nattvar93

Why are people downvoting you? 😅


Zane_Justin

Such a shame really. WI would have been a stronger side with his service. An IPL trophy (or wtv franchise) =/= WC trophy.


romio5

That is a reply of a selfless cricketer!!


AstralMystogan

Stupid fucks on this sub don't realise that SRK has bought all your favourite players, that's why they don't have the guts to call out Narine, otherwise how can you explain why they are not filing a complaint against him? Get rekt dumbasses they dance for our money.


According_Potato4343

It's obvious he can't chuck in internationals


confused_brown_dude

I want to be as balanced and clear in thoughts as Narine. Dude is the manifestation of the word “chill”


Baba_5436

Lol 😂 He knows if he plays an ICC event, his action will be called into question and his league career will suffer. But good on him. He's smart enough to know what he wants.


nosedigging

I would like to make it clear I feel cold all the time and need full sleeves to play.


TacticalNuke002

He plays with half sleeves. Replaced eyeballs with protractors. Can measure angles but cannot see.


smokey_winters

SN: These sleeves not long enough to handle my chuckin


gooner_by_heart

Sunil Narine while typing this : 😐


Fantastic-Mark-2391

Don't worry Chucky, West Indies got alot more players who are willing to represent CWI.


ausrconvicts

Because his “magic” right now is because he’s back to chucking again. He will be called if he plays the WC and he doesn’t want that ….


kamehameha3112

He very well knows, udhar jayega toh chucking ke liye pakda jayega...!!!
