Pakistan's controversial paceman could be in trouble again
over his bowling action.
Although not officially reported by the umpires and the
match referee Denis Lindsay of South Africa, the officials
Wednesday viewed video footage of his action for long time
in the morning.
Shoaib had earlier been reported for suspect action but was
later cleared by a panel of International Cricket Conference
(ICC).
However, many observers who watched him bowling in the first
two matches of the ongoing triangular tournament believed
that all was not well Shoaib's action.
Shoaib played in the first two matches and took three
wickets and looked anything but ordinary mortal. He was left
out from Wednesday's clash against Zimbabwe and the team
management described the decision to give him rest and give
others a chance.
