I'd like to see "proper gash" become the new "dire".

It was interesting to see the review of Ajmal's doosra from the no-ball camera.
I am aware that I have asked people to stop mentioning the legality of his action without evidence, so I thought I'd take a photo (thanks, Sky Plus) and post it up. Now tell me with a straight face that this is within 15 degrees.

Depends how much he straightens it tbf. If he just keeps it arm like that the whole time then it's 0 degrees. Now I'm not saying he does, but it makes it impossible to judge anything based on one frame.It was interesting to see the review of Ajmal's doosra from the no-ball camera.

You're allowed 15 degrees of flexion within the elbow during the course of the delivery: obviously the biggest handicap with judging Muralitharan's action is the illusion that suggests it straightens: Ajmal does not have the same inherent "disability" - his arm does straighten. I am yet to see a single doosra bowled by a finger-spinner that looks legal.
When do we start coaching children to cheat?

Find me one bowler whose arm does not straighten to its maximum possible extent during delivery.
If you're going to say Muralitharan, read my wording again more carefully...

I can see your point, but to prove things, you have to show it actually bends....
Edit:
What are we discussing...... This was just an amazing, really amazing, day of Test Cricket!

What an amazing day's cricket. Best day's play since 2005.
I wonder how high Trott's 149* will rate on the computer rankings system. Against a top-class bowling attack in very helpful conditions, while all about him were losing their wickets. If it ends up being a match-winner, it can't be far off Gooch's seminal 154* surely?
And well played StuBro.
What a day's play.

I kinda agree but the Umpires are happy so play resumes...
