Seems like the next ICC series looks like a trial case for all sorts of ICC goodies. First we have the new cameras which will give the umpires an audio link of any nicks, and I mean instantaneously. Next we will have the more important 3d animation of the bowlers actions.
Also, a good time to bring on the spinners and throw them in the lion's den? well why not? how worse can it get?
Already Rafique and Razzak is mentioned here.

Quote:
The process will continue until the latter stages of the Champions Trophy in September. By that time the ICC hopes to have analysed the actions of as many as 15 spinners from 12 Test teams in an attempt to answer cricket's million-dollar question: what constitutes a chuck?
