He would have never played in Australian grade cricket. Sadly he played in our local Leicestershire league as a youngster and was never called for chucking due to political correctness.
His deformaty is'nt his fault and he is'nt a cheat, it is a case of the authorities being too weak in upholding the traditions of the game. When he was finally no balled in Australia, the ICC should have backed the Aussies and not given in to the Asian cricket mafia, who now have taken over the running of the game.
I was in Sri Lanka for the last England test tour and every local I spoke to, thought he chucked.
