I think you guys might want to have Ashwin banned after seeing what Afridi does to him in the WC :winky:
But we'll still win as always :haha:

Ashwin demonstrated how to chuck and opened the pandora box in a series lol Looks like his plan worked. THey started weeding out all chuckers. I don't believe all padosis subscribe to the theory of Ashwin chucking. To those who do, if Ashwin is chucking every bowler ever played for Pakistan chucked that is how clean his action is. Sour grapes .

There are more chances of Afridi coming out of retirement after the WC.

The BCCI has cleared suspended left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha's action and he is now eligible to play in Hyderabad's next Ranji Trophy encounter against Himachal Pradesh starting in Hyderabad tomorrow. "Yes, I got the clearance from the BCCI this afternoon. I have received a mail stating that my action has been cleared and I am eligible to start playing competitive cricket. I will be playing in Hyderabad's Ranji Trophy match tomorrow. It has been an emotionally turbulent phase for me. Hopefully, it is over now," Ojha sounded relieved as he spoke to PTI from his Hyderabad residence. Asked about what exactly was the technical problem, Ojha explained,"There was a bit of problem that developed with my body momentum at the time of release. Since I was playing non-stop, I didn't realise when it crept into my system. The team of experts worked with me in Chennai helped me get rid of the problem. The change that I now have is that of a straightened run-up to the crease." How does it feel that he would be back where he belongs (on the field playing Ranji Trophy vs HP), you get a strong and determined reply. "Yes, I am happy to be playing but I belong somewhere else! I belong in that Indian team and that's my aim. To get my place back in the Test side," Ojha said. A regular feature in India's home Test matches till last year scalping 113 wickets in 24 Test matches, Ojha's action came under scanner a few months back and last December, the India international was banned from bowling in competitive cricket and sent for action correction. "It was a very tough period emotionally for me and my family. But I would like to thank the BCCI and the Chennai testing centre for their support. I would like to thank specialist coaches Diwakar Vasu (former TN Ranji player) and Venkat Ramanna who worked with me during the last one month," said Ojha. During his hour of crisis, Ojha did get a lot of support from his teammates. "(VVS) Laxman bhai was always in touch and had encouraging words. Anil bhai (Kumble) also from time to time encouraged me. Rohit (Sharma) and Ajinkya (Rahane) would call up at times and inquired about the progress," said Ojha. For him it was a "phase" which has finally got over and there are only brighter days ahead of him. "I am a religious man and had complete faith in the Almighty. I had firm belief that I can't be kept away from something that I love the most in this world. My mother would keep telling me that this is just a phase and it will be over very soon," an emotional Ojha said. The IPL auction is round the corner but Ojha is not bothered about whether he would get a team or not. "I am not really bothered about IPL auctions. My entire focus is getting my place back in the Indian team," he concluded. PTI

Good on Ojha. All good words coming out from me i.e his priority is to get back in Team India and how his action had issues and its not like other chuckers who feel they are being maligned.
