Indian players want to distract Ajmal, says Javed Miandad – Cricket News Update
Former Pakistan cricket captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 spinner Saeed Ajmal, saying that it is a trick to distract the off-spinner.
Some senior Indian players and the BCCI officials have reportedly questioned the legality of Ajmal’s deliveries after Sunday’s Asia Cup match between the arch rivals. But Miandad, PCB’s Director cricket affairs, saw the reports as nothing but a ploy to “upset
and distract” Ajmal as he was troubling their senior batsmen.
"It is simple and pure, they want to upset him and distract him. Because he is troubling their batsmen and he has now got Tendulkar out twice, in the World Cup and last night," said Miandad, the director general and member Governing Board of PCB.
This is the second time in three months that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saeed-Ajmal-c87859’s bowling action has been questioned by the opposition batsmen. Earlier in January, it was the English cricket team questioning the off-spinner’s bowling action after he scythed through their batting
line-up in the opening Test of the three-match series in Dubai to return with a ten-wicket haul as the formidable http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 batting line-up was rolled over for meager totals of 192 and 160 in their first and second innings respectively.
Senior Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) officials however, remained noncommittal when contacted by the media for their take on the latest controversy.
"The bottomline is that we go by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 rules and regulations and so far neither the umpires nor the match referee has filed any sort of report about Saeed's action and he is free to play on," said a PCB official.
Meanwhile, the International Cricket Council (ICC), in an attempt to put an end to the raging controversy surrounding Ajmal’s bowling action, said that the spinner was well within the "the allowed degree of tolerance".
"In Saeed Ajmal's case we have tested him, we have monitored him even in the live situations, he bowls within the allowed degree of tolerance. So there isn't any issue with him," the ICC chief executive http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Haroon-Lorgat-c61719 said on Monday.
