Message: [QUOTE="1910, post: 3691505, member: 8272"] It wasn't changed until 2004 and the old law wasn't workable or even detectable to the naked eye. [I]An expert panel comprising Aravinda de Silva, Angus Fraser, Michael Holding, Tony Lewis, Tim May and David Richardson found that most modern bowlers broke the rules in some way but the laws to determine whether their action was legal or otherwise were murky and unworkable. The old laws effectively allowed spinners to legally straighten their arms by five degrees. The measurement was set at 7.5 degrees for medium pacers and 10 for fast bowlers. However, the panel found those measurements were all undetectable to the naked eye so they recommended the levels be standardised at 15 degrees, the first point at which it is visible to the naked eye.[/I] [/QUOTE]
