Cheers, mate.

Scoop for CricketWeb, or what?

Not really. Everyone who knows anyone in cricket knows about it.

Believe me, from my State playing days I have a LOT of insider goss! hahaha

I am yet to see bond in action, but IMO Lee is far far better than both Akhtar and Ntini, he has a lovely action and swings the ball at pace, Ntini is a very good bowler who is basically a bundle of energy and can be as quick as Gillespie. Akhtar's FAST inswinging yorker is probably the most lethal delivery in ODI at the moment....of coourse when e gets it right.

Isn't a delivery when it's legal?

Lee has an attractive action no doubt, but its his spraying the ball a bit thats let him down. Akhtar had the same problem when he first came in. At their pace although margin of error is more than any, it still matters a lot. I think Akhtar has a slight edge over Lee now.

 

[Anil]

Yeah, Akhtar has an edge right now.

At this point they could be ranked:

Akhtar
Lee
Bond
Ntini

Try not to be too shocked but it was Steve Waugh. ANd no, I'm not kidding.

You heard it here first.

Could we unsettle Australia before the World Cup by plastering this all over the place?

Deny, deny, deny; that's my tactic.

There was a problem with Akhtar's fast bouncer; never with his yorker (which was what Powell mentioned).

BTW, even that fast bouncer seemed to be a problem only from certain angles- that could well be more about optical illusion than illegal action. But that's a debate for another day.

What about Ngam ?? He's just came back but hasn't done very well has he ?
