^ Are those 8 deliveries the only ones he's bowled so far? Lol Posted by Vaughn. :giggle: Michael Vaughan ‏@MichaelVaughan 10h You are allowed 15 degrees of flex in your delivery swing.... #justsaying

[Old guy]

Lol you do not even get the rule :hysterical:

[CSK Fan]

That is even more damning isn't it? The rule is that you cannot STRAIGHTEN your arm at delivery point. Ajmal is clearly bending it and then straightening it at the point of release

Law 24, Clause 3 defines a fair delivery with respect to the arm: A ball is fairly delivered in respect of the arm if, once the bowler's arm has reached the level of the shoulder in the delivery swing, the elbow joint is not straightened partially or completely from that point until the ball has left the hand. This definition shall not debar a bowler from flexing or rotating the wrist in the delivery swing.[1]

Ajmal seeks explanation for Broad comments

Saeed Ajmal is to ask for an explanation from the ECB after Stuart Broad appeared to question the legality of the bowler's action. Ajmal, who played a large part in Pakistan's whitewash Test series victory over England in the UAE at the start of 2012, is currently playing for Worcestershire as an overseas player in the County Championship. He claimed 13 wickets in their recent victory over Essex, including a career-best haul of 7 for 19 in the second innings. That led to Michael Vaughan, the former England captain, posting a still photograph of Ajmal bowling during the game on Twitter with the caption "You are allowed 15 degrees of flex in your delivery swing.... #justsaying." Broad then replied with the comment "This has to be a fake photo?!" before a further tweet stated: "Bowlers can bowl very differently in a lab while being tested compared to needing wickets in the middle." Ajmal has concluded that this implied that the action he uses in a match situation is not the same as that used in testing. He has also concluded that the comments insinuate that his action may not be legitimate. He has instructed his agent to talk to the PCB and ECB about the comments and seek an explanation. As a centrally contracted player, Broad is restricted in the comments he can make about fellow players and can be penalised if they are found to be derogatory. It has long been known that Ajmal bowls with a bend in his arm. That is not against the playing regulations for international cricket, though, and after exhaustive tests, the ICC concluded that his arm did not straighten by 15 degrees and therefore declared his action legitimate. As part of the ICC testing procedure, match footage is used alongside videos made "in a lab" and compared to ensure it is identical. Umpires are then able to copy TV footage of bowlers in action and super-impose them on the testing footage to check that a bowlers' action has not subsequently deteriorated. It is understood by ESPNcricinfo that the umpires involved in the Pakistan-England series in the UAE used this facility to check that Ajmal's action was the same as when it was tested. They found it to be identical. Umpires in county cricket can report international bowlers to the ECB just as they would domestic bowlers should they have any doubts over their action. The English game has long viewed 'mystery' spin with suspicion. While several other nations have embraced the unorthodoxy that has resulted in innovations such as the doosra, the vast majority of English spinners persist with the traditional methods in an environment that has become, with improved bats, more benign pitches and more aggressive batsmen, ever more hostile towards them. The ECB also still utilise a different testing procedure to measure the legality of bowlers' actions to that used in international cricket. While they deny that their procedure is more stringent, the fact remains that very few unorthodox bowlers have emerged through the English system in recent years. Moeen Ali can bowl the doosra - he has been taught it by Ajmal - but has yet to use it in international cricket. Previous English doosra bowlers either left the game early (Alex Loudon) or were warned against using the delivery (Maurice Holmes) and saw their career come to a premature end.

Bloody chucker. At times he goes over the 15 degree limit by 60-65 degrees.

[Midfielder]

Mr. Ajmal let me explain it to you in plain English. You are a chucker. You along with Murali are successful not because you are the best athlete it is because you chuck. THIS NEEDS TO END.

[Pakistan]

Cricket is already dominated by batsmen. Just check the number of triple centuries scored in last 20 years and 100 years before that. Give the bowlers some flexibility.

Absolutely not. Why not let them pitch and throw like Sohaib or baseball players. If this was an Indian you would be shouting from roof top to ban them.

I do not have selective amnesia like you who was OK with Bhaji's action when he was getting you famous test series win against the great Aussie team. I want to see competitive cricket between bat and ball while you want to see bat butcher helpless ballers.

[putrevus]

Post 1 and post 3 are enough to prove this guy ajmal is pure and blatant chucker and these chuckers need to be banned, if any one has the same pictures of bhajji then his records neeed to be taken down as well.

I am ok with that but rule is same for all guys and tbh even after being big fan of Ajmal I feel he some times crosses the limit by margin .. Even those 2 West Indies spinners got banned and same should apply to Ajmal or he should be stopped from bowling deliveries which have problem It's normally quick flat ones rather than doosra

You do not amnesia but you do suffer from pakitis- a mental condition where anything a pakistani does can not be wrong. Please this is trash. Bhajji was bad on doosra not every delivery like this cheat.

If Ajmal being stopped from bowling doosras he will be completely ineffective. They might well give chance to young spinners like Raza Hassan. Ajmal should not be banned by ICC as the never did anything to Murali. But due to chucking, both Murali and Ajmal will never be considered as greats in my book. Warne, Saqlain and Kumble are better bowlers than them according to me.

[Sajid_Rana]

Ajmal is an all time great and despite being unable to play at hime dusty spin friendly pitches at home he has exceptional record. People hate the successful players and Ajmal is no different hence you see these jealous comments by losers and haters. Ajmal has a legal action hence no expert or official have ever called him chucking except some trolls from one part of the world. When bowlers chuck they do reported by match officials just like Harbhajan, Botha and Shillingford.

yeah because UAE pitches are made for fast bowlers and not spinners. you are just as delusional as your countrymen whenever it comes to supporting this cheater or any cricket related issue in general
