KFC Big Bash League Statement: Mohammad Hasnain

Sydney Thunder bowler Mohammad Hasnain was reported for a suspected illegal bowling action after playing in a KFC Big Bash League game against Adelaide Strikers on January 2.

Hasnain’s bowling action was due to be tested at Cricket Australia’s ICC-approved facility in Brisbane within the mandated 14-day timeframe and before his departure from Australia. However, after he and others were recalled early by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), it was agreed he would conduct his test at their approved facility in Lahore.

As the initial report was made during a KFC Big Bash League match, Cricket Australia will review and verify the report provided by the PCB’s testing facility.

The League thanks Hasnain, the Thunder and the PCB for their cooperation in this matter.

Henrique did say that the guy chucks when he bowls a bouncer.

Anyways, pakistan can conduct the test in lahore and lets see how it comes

If you see that - he was referring to the ball that Hasnain threw at him and it was wayward - all very confusing

Looks like Umpires and Match Referee's in BBL took notice of Henriques remarks.
Can he reform his action ?

Just went to the other thread where there are videos of him bowling.
To me the action looks clean although there are no side on footage.

He's played enough international cricket and franchise cricket where we've all seen him bow on TV and to me he never looked like he was chucking.
 
His action definitely does not look clean in real time front on angle.
But in the replays i've seen in the BBl it doesn't look like a chuck.
 
Doesn't look dodgy to me. He has a sling like action which Malinga, Bumrah too have so maybe to naked eye it seems like there is a bigger flex than the limits, but I really doubt if it's over the limits.

Henriques is gonna come out looking like a joker once this action is cleared.

Exactly my thoughts.
There is an element of slight sling in his action which takes the chucking out of equation.

If the umpire reported him because Henrique sledged Hasnain, then perhaps it’s more beneficial to the game that such an umpire is reported and thrown out.
 
If Hasnain's action looks suspect...then there are many who need to be tested
 
This is odd. Never thought his action was even slightly dodgy. Never thought the words 'chucking' or 'throwing' associated with Hasnain at all. Have they done this just because Henriques was sledging him about it?

Very strange. Personally i think he will be fine but i guess we will find out after the test.

Cannot believe that someone like Junaid Khan can play his whole career without being called and Hasnain gets called. Very odd.
 
Other countries can’t produce 145+ bowlers on a regular basis so when they see Pakistan young quicks they get jealous.There is an element of racism too.When Pakistani bowlers started bowling reverse swing the idiots were accusing them of cheat.When others learn to bowl reverse swing they called it a skill.

Shhh!! Don't talk logic you conspiracy theorist.

PS: It is hilarious to see puppies like this Henriques dude rolling on grass with their mouths open when India visits them. They keep their mouth$ $hut and certainly know their place right besides feet :yk

Unfortunately that won't happen. No matter how much PR about inclusivity ** these teams do, are you really surprised they can't believe Hasnain is actually good?

"He's so quick, this fella must be chucking" is their first thought. And not that "I am actually a has-been nobody, just out my depth"
 
Moises Henriques is nothing more than a pound shop Mark Ealham and obviously couldn't handle Hasnain.

Typical delusional mentality. No one is jealous of Pakistan cricket. Pakistan is a mid-table team.

All these so-called speed demons (Hasnain, Rauf, Naseem etc.) are rubbish with no achievements in international cricket. Shaheen is the only top drawer bowler among this lot and he has received widespread praise from all quarters.

This victim-mentality is part of our culture but it is baseless as usual.

Speaking of reverse-swing, yes it is cheating but it also involves skill. Not every bowler can exploit or benefit from reverse-swing.

It is the same for chucking. It is cheating but you have to be good at it to become effective. Muralitharan and Ajmal were chuckers and they wouldn’t have been great with a legal action, but they were extremely effective at chucking.

Williamson was also a chucker but he was nothing more than a part-timer.

Nevertheless, Hasnain’s action doesn’t look too dodgy to me. Junaid on the other hand was a blatant chucker and extremely fortunate not to get called.

Not this again.

Your last two fast bowlers of note were from the 1980s: Wasim and Waqar. Nobody really replaced them in the decades (generations) since, so there's nothing to get jealous about.

Your best two players right now are in fact batsmen: Babar and Rizwan, but they need to be elite for another 3-5 years across formats and geographies for others to get jealous of them, if they have to use that word.
 
One cannot help but think there is a semblance of Racism in all this.

Every single time there been a brown bowler who bowls fast or spins more, the callers of chucking primarily have been Australians

Shoaib Akhtar
Muralitharan
Hasnain

of course they cannot go after India now because of BCCI's influence

After all this time, I was watching this game live and Henrique goes, nice throw, then the commentators go, "Bit of a kink aint it?" "we know what is said on the field stays on the field unless its caught on stump mic" It felt like the commentators were platforming and signal boosting and manufacturing this narrative.

and here we are. all of a sudden

It feels like Pakistan shouldn't send young bowlers to BBL from hereon

They like to question the pakistani bowlers the aussie commentators and players but not the other countries, who is Henriques to question anybody, that is so unprofessional. Hasnain has played a lot of cricket with International Umpires and not called once, why now?

What is it with the aussies?

They did it to make him look bad.
 
If Hasnain's action has to be tested that indian bowler bumrah guy with ugly action should be tested as well.

Hasnain's action is clean as whistle.

So you think Saeed Anwar, Inzi, Yousuf, Younis, Saqlain were not greats?
 
I didn't even know he was playing BBL. He's not a chucker generally, but would not be surprised if he slipped the odd one in for a bouncer. Good that he got pulled up if he's doing that, he should cut it out of his game. Aussies aren't going to miss anything like that coming from a Pakistani.

Bhajji was tested multiple times. He stopped bowling the doosra.

Ashwin doesn't chuck. The only time his action looked dodgy was when he openly told media that he would copy Narine' s action.
 
:)) now the pakistanis will call it a conspiracy, racism and what not....

Test would be conducted in lahore. Umpires are well with in their right to call anyone out if they suspect a bowling action. The test isnt done by the umpire its down by the labs...

Anyways test would be done in lahore. While he probably doesnt chuck or maybe chucks his bouncer but whatever the results would be they would be from lahore and would be creadible

Botha, kirtly, williamson....

From india, harbajhan was called out once and kamran khan was banned.

Stop having victim mentality. Lol if someone calls you out it doesnt mean its racism.

Subcontinent bowlers will be caught out more because our board is lax on bowlers chucking while countries like australia remove chuckers from early on in grade cricket.

Just because pakistan had pathetic standards and are suspected doesnt mean its racism...

Getting called out for chucking is not even an issue when the test would be done in lahore.
 
Even if the test is in Lahore it is not some random chacha conducting the test. It is an ICC accredited facility which means there will be certain standards it has to abide by - probably the data, videos etc will need to be reviewed independently.

People are missing the point. I don’t think he chucks while bowling his stock deliveries, it’s his bouncer where he strives for extra pace is dodgy.

I remember Bhajji was called out for his doosra and he never bowled it. Afridi had this special faster ball where he would suddenly let one out at 120ks, that was clearly chucking and I believe he stopped bowling that. Similarly, Akthar’s bouncers were reported too.

I have observed this with Hafeez too, he can absolutely bowl with a straight arm but once things don’t work out that’s when professor brings out his degrees.

He might have to work on his short ball, that’s all is going to be to it. Not sure why this outrage.

so you are fine with the australian attitude of the batsman calling it out out of the blue
then the australian commentators calling it out
then the australian umpire calling it out

and it so happens, from all of the international games and foreign leagues Hasnain has played, no one even thought about it but to these commentators and this player its evident?

What are you talking about? :facepalm: This is from Australia which has produced more fast bowlers than Pakistan.

Lab will ask him to replicate his onfield action while bowling different deliveries. This will then be super imposed on his onfield action to check if they tally. Then the degree of flexion will be measured.

I think thats the process. They detailed it nicely during Senanayeke test in England.

Yes this is how they usually do the tests, super imposition to try and avoid bowlers using a different action during the tests.

there was probably a delivery or 2 in which he "chucked" or relaxed his action a bit too much or even over stretched himself, on the whole seems clean bowler , aus umpires are in their right to call if they think its dodgy, if he has nothing to hide tests will clear him without any further issues.

Yeah I think the way it happened was definitely dodgy. It is so out of the blue - not a hint or mention of even a question mark over his action despite him playing 26 international games plus 75 T20s around the world, including in CPL. What makes it strange is that usually when a player is called for a test, you kind of get it - it is either expected or there is a general feeling that maybe his action is a little dodgy. e.g. if it had been Junaid Khan I'd have sighed and said 'about time'.

That it is so out of the blue makes it seem like this has only happened because some two bit has been reject sledged him and the media made a bit of a hoo haa about it.

Anyway, all will be confirmed with the test. But as I said, I will be VERY surprised to the point of being shocked if it turns out he chucks.

See chucking sometimes happens inadvertently as well, due to the shoulder muscles getting tired etc.

Shoaib, Asif, Amir (pre ban), Junaid were not bowlers of note ?

And the guy that you responded to was mainly mentioning the fact that Pakistan churns out a lot of 145+ bowlers.

While I am not sure about the jealousy part but clearly Pakistani bowlers have to face more scrutiny than others.

All very suspicious

Theres never been the slightest thought he chucks and now this

I cna name half a dozen who have dodgier actions than he has and never been called

Pakistanis seem to be a soft target

A few domestic coaches and players are now coming out that they felt Hasnain's action was doubtful whenever he bowled a bouncer but no one in the PCB took their concerns seriously.

Reverse swing is not cheating. Reverse swing has not been defined or declared as unfair play or cheating under laws of cricket as maintained by MCC and the ICC.

Played in CPL
Played in PSL
Played domestic

No report on his action.

Henriques shouts nice throw and suddenly they are investigating his action.
 
Did Hasnain come through a proper pathway like U-19 or was he fasttracked via PSL?

I have noticed usually and I might be wrong but players in Pakistan who come through a proper pathway usually have lesser baggage like suspect actions and age issues for example like SSA and Babar Azam.
 
WTH. If Hasnain's action is suspect then what is Bumrah's action then?

Tbf, there have been quiet rumblings about Hasnain's bowling action in the past. I don't think its a big deal overall, he might have an issue when he bowls the bouncer where his arm kinks slightly.

And if a bowler in this generation can bowl reserve swing they learnt it from Pakistan bowlers.

Again, umpires are well in their right report.

And chucking doesnt get reported because a batsmen complain. The batsmen can complain and umpires can later after the match check fotage and ask for the action to get checked by a lab.

Umpire did not call hasnain a chucker nor are the australians out to get him.

He will get checked, if he chucks than ban him if he doesnt than he will bowl

Alot of you people are getting to worked up and making this a race peoblem for some odd reason

Its unfair to ban a bowler if there is just a problem with one delivery which in Hasnain's case appears to be his bouncer.

They will ask him to replicate what he did onfield. If he changes his action from the onfield one then thats a red flag on the action.

Its absolutely necessary for the bowler to replicate his onfield bowling action for the test to be considered valid.

could be a blessing in disguise. Maybe Hasnain will be forced to stop bowling short lol
Click to expand...

He is one of the few bowlers who I have regularly seen hit the batsman’s helmet. He has a good bumper.
 
Kind of upset at the Australians to make this a issue. Heard Moin Khan talk about it and he looked pretty relaxed about it. It’s Australian Domestic where he got called out so doesn’t have any ICC sanctions.

Just needs to be careful if he is bending the arm for some deliveries.

He is young so should be able to
 
Hmmm, sometimes there's a difference between regular delivery & the bouncer action- Freddie Flintoff's action used to be discussed on air as getting "ragged" when he bowled his bouncer from around the wicket.

Footage of the over here. Henriques calls it a chuck every time Hasnain bowls the bouncer during the over. The coverage is annoying because they never show a replay of the short balls from an angle where you can see the action- but we do get replays of his full balls and his action looks ok to me.

[video]https://www.cricket.com.au/video/moises-henriques-mohammad-hasnain-throw-chuck-accuse-bowler-sydney-smash-thunder-sixers-bbl-11/2022-01-15[/video]

Overall not a great reflection on Henriques- getting ruffled by the young bowler & then sledging in a way which will surely threaten the young guys career, right in front of the umpires.

Hopefully he tests clear and all moves on. I assume he'll get a fair and speedy test done in Lahore now that he's headed home, so it doesn't hang over his head.
 
The reaction in Aus so far seems to be sympathy for Hasnain.

The umpiring in the BBL is truly awful, they make the likes of Ashoka De Silva and Shozab Raza look like peak Aleem Dar or Taufell. People are seeing this as the umpiries reacting to Moses have a sook.


Personally his action has never aroused suspision

You know what I meant.

Reverse-swing achieved through ball-tampering is cheating. It was the hallmark of Pakistani bowlers like Sarfaraz Nawaz, Imran, Wasim, Waqar.

All of them had inflated stats because of tampering with bottle-caps in an era where it was easy to get away with it due to less scrutiny.

There is no room for ball-tampering and chucking in cricket. It is completely against the spirit of cricket.

It doesn’t matter how quick our bowlers bowl. Most of them are useless. If they bowl at 150, the ball ends up racing to the boundary at 220.

Pakistan has only one pacer with genuine quality at the moment so there is no reason for anyone to be jealous.

Hasnain is not even among the top 20 bowlers in the world.
