Pakistan reported for ball tampering?

LONDON: Three years becoming the first team in world cricket to forfeit a Test after being accused of ball-tampering, Pakistan are once again at the centre of a brewing controversy. 'The News' learnt here on Sunday that New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori was unhappy with the state of the ball as Pakistan pacer Umar Gul took 5-6 in three overs to lead his side to an emphatic six-wicket triumph in an ICC World Twenty20 Super Eights match here at the Oval on Saturday. According to sources, after the game Vettori filed a complaint with the ICC match referee Ranjan Madugalle, requesting him to begin an inquiry. The Kiwi skipper was suspicious of some wrong doing as Umar Gul was able to attain ample reverse-swing from the ball to floor New Zealand. However, sources said that the match referee has turned down the New Zealand request. Madugalle, according to the sources, made it clear that there was no evidence that Pakistani players tampered with the ball during the match. He pointed towards the fact that even in the presence of numerous cameras, there was no TV footage that could back suspicion that Pakistan may have tampered with the ball as they bowled against New Zealand. It was also at The Oval that Pakistan were accused of ball tampering by field umpires Darrell Hair and Billy Doctrove during their fourth Test against England in the summer of 2006. Pakistan refused to take the field after tea on the fourth day to protest against the umpires' decision to penalise them for alleged ball-tampering. The umpires awarded the Test to England. An ICC inquiry later cleared Pakistan of ball-tampering charges.

yep Murali has messed up the rule and now anybody can throw. But its funny to see these spinners wearing long sleeves just to hide the bend (even bhajji does it). BTW Ajmal really does throw .. I mean he looks lot worse than many other bowlers who have been reported

OMG Daniel Vettori just proved himself a sore loser!!

Vettori can't accept the fact that their team NZ is shyt, they played like Bangladesh, vettori save yourself some pride, after losing to srilanka he's going to ask the math referee to investigate malinga's action, that chasmish is a sore loser

[vvvslaxman]

If they have proof then do something. Otherwise just move on. It is getting old.

[iHammad]

but Murali uses the same bahana as Akhtar , my arm can bend/stretch more than normal.

[Guest gaurav_indian]

but Murali uses the same bahana as Akhtar ' date=' my arm can bend/stretch more than normal.[/quote'] Yeh sri lanka ke kya saare bowlers ajeeb action ke saath hi hotey hai.Malinga ki arm nahi ghoomti whirlpool effect ke saath aata hai.Murali ki aankhein kanchey ki tarah bahar aati hai.Arms bend and stretch hoti hai. We also need bowlers like Kachraa(from lagaan) [ame=

I think that is ridiculous. They lost a lot of wickets well before Gul came in. I'm a big time NZ supporter but this is something that sounds stupid. Vettori is not Flem, he just can't take defeat. If the umpires didn't find it a problem then I don't know what the problem is.
