i've listened to (and read) George Dobell's explanation of Saeed Ajmal's bowling action several times now, and it seems that the issue is that the rules don't suitably define throwing. The (incredibly complicated) rules about straightening are designed to stop people from throwing, right? But it seems that there is a way to though which conforms to the letter of the law, even if not the spirit.

Why don't you all check the averages of the Eng batsmen in Asia before talking about their career averages. |
