Pakistan v England: Match officials could report on Saeed Ajmal’s action warns Rashid Latif – Cricket News Update
Former skipper of Pakistan cricket team, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saeed-Ajmal-c87859 for having a suspicious bowling action.
The whole chucking saga started when the off-spinner single-handedly dismantled England’s batting contingent in the first innings of the Dubai Test match between the two sides. After Ajmal’s seven-wicket haul, former English cricketer,
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Robert-George-Dylan-Willis-c85805, raised questions over how the bowler's arm bends while delivering his mystery ball “Doosra”.
Willis' criticism on Ajmal did not sit well with Pakistani fans and former cricketers. But Latif is keeping it real, saying that after seeing footages of the match, some doubts are raised over the legality of his actions.
Latif said, “I can understand the reaction of our former players to what Willis and the English media is saying because they have always depended on negative tactics to pressurise and defame our players. But if you look closely
at his action while bowling some deliveries it appears to me the match officials could report his action and I think the Pakistan team management and board should be prepared for this.”
The former cricketer said, “I don't want to discourage him or demean our team's brilliant performance on the first day of the Test but it would be a good move on part of the team management and players to sit down and analyse some
things themselves and be prepared for the worst.”
Ajmal has become the key weapon in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755’s bowling arsenal. Therefore, Latif has advised the bowler to prepare for such acquisitions, as now oppositions are vary of the threat posed by him.
The wicket-keeper batsman said that oppositions will try to get under his skin by scrutinizing him to see if he loses his concentration or not. Ajmal was reported for illegal bowling action back in 2009, but the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625, after carrying
out certain Tests, cleared him.
Ajmal so far has prevented himself from all the media talks but for how long? The off-spinner shrugged off the talks saying that the umpires and match officials are responsible for maintaining discipline in the game and not media
personnel.
