FYI the umpire in both recent high profile throwing reports was Ian Gould the former wicket keeper.

I work with Ian 'Gunner' Gould (When he is in the country). Amazing bloke and doesn't stand for any funny business.

He certainly holds respect from everyone I know who knows him... And possibly one of the funniest blokes you will meet.

Can see why he is so popular amongst non-chucking international cricketers.

Him and Marius Erasmus umpiring together... No nonsense.

Ajmal has been found to have an illegal action and banned.

doesnt say a huge amount except all his deliveries are illegal

[tim2000s]

No real surprise there then...!

[smilley792]

If all his deliveries were found to be illegal. You have to ask. How did it take so long??

[csnew]

Surely his wickets his taken should now be void!

[potzy248]

And lets wait for the "(insert team here) struggles to play him so he gets banned" comments, and the lets pick on Pakistan comments.
Bowl properly and don't cheat. How it took so long when Shillingford et al were being banned is beyond me. Worst chucker since Murali is finally banned.

Awaits Vic nic to tell us all it's a conspiracy by the British empire..........

Given the testing was done in Brisbane this may be unlikely.

Good that there is finally a crack down on chuckers.

That's now three for Gouldy this year (Ajmal, Senanayake and Williamson).

Question is; Whos next?!

[Dan W]

Just in time for the Aussie test!

I thought the testing is now done in Cardiff or Mumbai? I know from the articles I read that the ICC thought the Perth testing centre was perhaps too lenient?. I guess this proves it.

I imagine it's particularly annoying for Worcs opponents this season where Ajmal has almost won games on his own. To still have that kind of bend in the arm even with long sleeves on  (to hide it!) was asking for trouble. Spells the end for the Doosra in it's present form I suspect.

When has Gould got Narine?

[uknsaunders]

Wonder if Ajmal will retire instead of undergo remedial work? Pakistan must be very concerned now.
