Bend it like Samuels

So then, Marlon Samuels’ action has been reported. What’s the verdict? Legitimate action?
Tait told to stop ‘mouthing off’
By Will 3 years ago, mid-December, 3 Comments »
Series between Australia and New Zealand are often spicy affairs, and that trend continued last week with New Zealand questioning the validity of Shaun Tait’s action. Ricky Ponting, his captain, acted all headmasterly by saying he was “disappointed” with New Zealand’s claims, and today Tait has offered to undergo ICC testing. But it doesn’t stop there; Brendon McCullum’s mouthing off and telling Tait to stop mouthing off.
“If he’s Glenn McGrath, he can probably throw comments like that out there,” McCullum told AAP on Saturday. “But my only advice would be to maybe get a few more statistics behind him before he starts mouthing off.
“I just thought it was a bit reckless from Taity. He’s a good bloke but he’s only played 15 games. When McGrath was very good at talking it up, he also had some unbelievable statistics behind him.”
Great stuff all round, really.

The big news today (which depresses me – an Australia-West Indies Test ought to be bigger news, but they’ve been routed. Again) is Shabbir and Malik have been reported for chucking. Well, chucking chuckers, who’d have thunk it?
