It looks like Ojha might be chucking the ball. Not sure but it looks
like it when he releases the ball. Have to see it in slow motion to be
sure.

I'd not consider slow motion the best evidence. Unless they're pitching it, that is.

I agree. There are better ways to determine whether he or someone else
is chucking. But on tv that's the best there is. However, to know for
sure there are obviously much better methods which they can avail of
to see whether ojha or even jadeja are chucking. And they are quite
smart. They don't chuck every delivery. Its the occassional delivery
which is chucked. So, one has to see almost all of thier deliveries
over the test match in an environment where you have the neccessary
tools to see whether they are chucking or not.

This clip was taken from an umpires review (Cowan). Which makes you wonder;
If the 3rd ump can inform on a front foot no-ball, then what about a
blatant chuck?

That video is useless. One can bowl with a bent elbow. It's straightening that's the issue.
NB: ignoring any/all murali playing conditions

I don't get it - what exactly does the clip show?

It shows that the ICC is as weak as water.

Ajmal is much more obvious, in my opinion, as is Farhat. Unless they
have the courage to deal with them, then Ojha (let alone Jadeja) will
easily slip under the radar. Especially as BCCI controls world cricket
(now tacitly admitted by Sutherland in the wake of the 'monkey' and
'waah Sydney' fiascos)

I agree. Third umpires should be allowed to say if a bowler is
chucking.

BCCI's influence over world cricket is why India will get away with
not allowing UDRS even though it should logically be implemented in
every test match. But they will try and delay its implementation as
long as possible so that thier batsmen can continue to get the benefit
of the doubt.

It shows Ojha didn't bowl a front foot no-ball.

It's a good thing nobody claimed anything else, or entitled their clip "Ojha
chucking". He may well be a chucker - lots of current spinners probably
are - but the idea such a clip shows anything of the sort is laughable.
