Wasim and Waqar were ball tamperer's until everyone else cottoned on to reverse swing.

And when English players learned it then it became an "art"

Lol

And here it comes, English Players and Media have already started to cry?!

Oh com'on!! Man up and face the challenges, rather than taking cheap punts!

Good luck and enjoy the series!

Agree play what's in front of you, if ICC deem his action legit then get on with it.

[Cover_Drive]

Not sure that any of the players have said anything have they?

Its not a cheap punt anyway, its there for all to see. As noted by Mr Mcgrew it is very hard to judge whether the 15 degrees is exceeded with the naked eye but even you Cover_Drive surely can't deny that there is a pronounced kink in Ajmals action. The fact that it is nigh on impossible to bowl a doosra without kinking your elbow is a give-away (unless you have extraordinary fingers, which being a relatively short man Ajmal is unlikely to have)

Buzz, I have been watching his action ever since he made his debut against India in Asia Cup back in 2008 .

Alba mate, there is a kink and it is within the laws, he has already been checked by ICC for action and his arm was around 13 degrees.

I'm sure ICC knows and is closely watching him than all of us here

I will ask Saqlain Musthtaq the next time i see. The pioneer of the doosra.

y is the ground so empty? :S

This game is far from over . . .there is a long way to go and i think the Pak batting line up is fragile.

Very close to the mark then, and with the new delivery also being questionable - enough to begin a talking point on an online cricket forum?

Jesus christ oh how i love Matt Prior!
And his action does look suspect at best.

It is always like that, today it is better compared to previous series.

Plus its a working day in UAE.

Mate where are you watching cricket? Let me hear those questioning too!

Prior is one of the best English players who I have seen play under pressure, he has come to rescue quite a lot of times

Wasim and Waqar were ball tamperer's until everyone else cottoned on to reverse swing.

When Waqar and Wasim reversed the old ball after 40-50 overs, the English considered it cheating.

When Jones and Flintoff reversed the newer ball after 15 overs (with the aid of some mints), the English considered it genius.

Flights not cheap from Pakistan I imagine?

Another reason to hate terrorist scumbags, not content with blowing people up they now take the atmospere out of Test cricket!

I don't quite understand what you're asking me there CD

ohhh the pain of defeat!! it is clearly still sore!!
just remember if Warne was captain, you would have won, so you can't blame the mint sucking!! Plus that is a myth that it makes a difference.

This topic is bubbling up lovely!! Can it rival the Aus/India one???
