India-Pakistan Cricket Preview
Well, the second Test match between India and Pakistan is about to start. India won the coin toss and has elected to bat first. Things aren't looking very bright for Pakistan. Historically, Indian Cricket has been a disappointment. But it has made a big turnaround in the past two years and they are now a competitive team. So Pakistan is facing a much better opponent than usual. Even worse for Pakistan, they have been plagued by injuries to key players and can barely field eleven players for this match. It also doesn't help that one of their bowlers is facing accusations of chucking. My prediction: India by 150 runs.

"chucking"?
Yes, chucking. In cricket, a bowler (pitcher) cannot bend his elbow more than 15 degrees doing the throwing motion. To bend the elbow more than that is called "chucking." Needless to say, bending the elbow makes it easier to throw the ball and givers the bowler an unfair advantage. The bowler in question has been cleared, but the umpires are watching him closely.
