The ICC said yesterday analysis last month showed "all of their deliveries exceeded the 15 degrees level of tolerance" allowed in the bowling action. That is, neither bowler was occasionally infringing. Both were indulging in a full-on darts fest.
Gazi was reported after the second ODI against the West Indies in Grenada in August. The same month, Utseya was reported after the third ODI against South Africa in Bulawayo.
Gazi, 23, who clubbed a century and took eight New Zealand wickets at Chittagong a year ago, is 10 tests and 20 ODIs into his career.
It has taken 160 ODIs for Utseya, 29, to be called. Gazi has plenty of time to sort out his action, but Utseya's ways are more set and change will be more difficult.
That chucking has become a disease is without question. Vigilance is far greater than it has been.
You would hope the proximity of the World Cup early next year is not the motivator for a stiffening of backbone from the ICC - a stiffening that would not be required if bowlers were being constantly checked.
And yes, you would have thought the ICC would have been keen to clamp down once it allowed the 15 degree rule in 2004.
Yet the silence over throwing until the past few months would suggest otherwise.
