Mitchell Johnson had just dismissed India's well set opener Murali Vijay and was in the middle of a brilliant spell. Virat Kohli walked in at number 4 and Johnson's first ball to India's captain was a pitch perfect snorter. It reared up at Kohli from well short of a good length and was head for his throat. A brilliant delivery first up. Had Phil Hughes not died, Johnson would probably still have checked on Kohli but the fielders might not have produced the same emphatic display they did here. When was the last time mid-off came to check on a batsman who got hit?

The 'suspect action' was born when the ICC decided that it would no longer enforce Law 24.2 on the field. Despite what the law currently says, an umpire has not called a bowler for throwing since the year 2000. Umpires report bowlers for having bowling actions which they suspect are illegal, either for all types of deliveries or for specific types of deliveries. Much to their dismay.


This second point is crucial. It is crucial not only because it affects the way the flex is measured, but it because it affects the very identification of a suspect action. The 15 degree threshold, which so many people seem to hold so dear exists only because this is the angle at which flex can be identified by the naked eye.

We will soon find out if Hughes has substantially changed the mindset of players about the short ball. If India are fighting to save the Test on the 5th evening, and their tailenders are in, will Mitchell Johnson try to bounce them in a sustained fashion? If the boot is on the other foot, will Varun Aaron try to bounce Ryan Harris or Nathan Lyon? If they do, we can conclude that there is no substantial change in the approach to the bouncer in the game. That this concern is simply a function of how recent the terrible accident involving Hughes has been. It will recede with time.

Should there be a substantial change? I think the bouncer is a legitimate weapon in the game. Against tailenders who are not trying to score, but are simply trying to hold their end up, and are doing so successfully, it is appropriate to use the bouncer as a means of disturbing their equanimity. The bouncer becomes a problem when it becomes part of a tit-for-tat. "I'm going to bounce you simply because you bounced me". That's when it becomes a problem. That's when it becomes a device for intimidation rather than dismissal.

Its understandable that Umpires are that much more vigilant than they might have been earlier. But I wonder if they'll be less patient against intimidatory bowling. That would be welcome real change.
