Not trying to be pro Pakistani here or anything like that.

Will let this video do talking.

He looks like a decent chap and I do respect him a lot but after seeing following video I'm doubtful about him;

Looked as though he got a bit carried away with the wicket. Don't think he really meant to push him over, but he should have apologised before celebrating.

He lost his balance when hitting the stumps and it looks worse than it was. Cant accuse Finn for that as it looks a genuine accident

yes you are being pro pakistani  ;)

I watched it live and the clip you are watching excludes the moments after I think Finn helped him up/got his bat for him and asked if he was ok.

If you are going to run into someone and you have the chance to use your arms and hands to help you not to hurt yourself, then you will use them.
He did offer his hand to help him up, it was received

I am sure that during the Australia vs india odi going on at the moment, there was a collision between 2 Indian fielders during fielding, and i am sure that if one of them saw the other, they would have used their arms or hands to push the other out of the way.

.
Finn is getting alot of abuse on twitter over this by idiots for this event. Seems to be since the start of this test, it does not matter what you do or who you are. Bumble has taken a bashing over twitter before any of the tests started.

Doubtful of what?

Finn went to throw the stumps down and momentum caused him to fall on to Ajmal. Nothing else. Pakistan lost by quite a large margin too, so nothing game changing.

The whole thing has been blown well out of proportion. People like Bumble and Vaughan etc being branded racists on twitter.

It was an over balance and momentum carried him into Ajmal.

The 'push' was more to avoid a serious collision by stabilising himself and pushing him another way. It was to avoid rather than injure. As said before he helped him up, gave him his bat and checked he was in one piece.

People need to get a grip. Seems you can get abused for anything nowadays! Guess they have little else to do than to abuse someone on twitter etc

I haven't seen the abuse on Twitter but I can sense it how worst it can go really.

I just saw that video, didn't see post reaction as I was on my way to nets when that was happening.

Finn does look like a decent chap and I am not surprised if he after the collision helped Ajmal etc etc.

But no one beats Cooky and Strauss, in my opinion as a neutral perspective those two are amazing blokes from current side (top two for me).
