never mind interesting mate, fantastic news for SL that Satchi has been cleared by the ICC !!

I wonder whether this means he can bowl the doosra if so if it will be as effective.. and now selectors are gonna be in a quandary on who to pick from Herath, Ajantha and Sena in Aus.. I'm guessing 2 out of 3 in all matches.

Great for NZ too to have Williamson back bowling. Adds so much balance to the side.

i reckon Herath and Satchi would be automatic choice in that order..shame for Jeevan who i think will miss out but we gotta go with the best available...

Ugh that should be such a no-brainer re: selection, Satchi's variations will all be there, he just won't bowl them with that filthy action, I don't think his revs or accuracy should be affected much, his action didn't require chucking, same with Hafeez.

I'd be tempted to just say fk it and just play all three and drop a pacer.. get Mathews to open the bowling with Malinga and one of the spinners (prob Sena) to bowl at the death with Malinga.

Nah, not with Dilshan bowling well too, we need a seamer who can actually take some wickets upfront and through the middle, Senanyake does give us some options at the death though

He is also a gun fielder and fairly handy with the bat so helps the lower order...apart from appearing to chew gum like a goat, all else is pretty good!!

Williamson talking about his new action and the testing process. Also a bit of footage of him bowling. Looks a lot cleaner for sure.

 

[cnerd123]

Looks a lot nice. Hopefully he'll be bowling in matches soon.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Looks like he modelled it on Swann

 

[Migara]

still no one measured between 15 to 20 degrees after the reporting and testing.

And we know ICC is not going to reveal anything

Though I don't know how useful he'll be if he can't bowl offspin.

 

[cnerd123]

How long has it been since international cricket had a legit Slow bowler?

Look forward to seeing how Utseya's slow-medium no-breaks go.

Saeed Ajmal returns with new action | cricket.com.au

Only proves he could bowl with a legal action but chose to throw instead.

 

[cnerd123]

Ehhh no it doesn't prove that at all...

 

[Antihippy]

Only proves he could bowl with a legal action but chose to throw instead.

More like the ICC should have cracked down earlier to give him a chance to correct his action early on.
