Saeed Ajmal, the Pakistan offspinner, who has baffled the Aussies in the ongoing 5 match ODI series in UAE has been reported for suspect action. No wonder, the suspect action is because of the numerous 'doosra's he bowled to the Australian batsmen in the first 2 one dayers.
Its not the first time any bowler's action is being reported, especially for the doosra delivery.Murali, Harbhajan and the recent SA bowler Johan Botha have been reported in the past as well. While Murali , and Bhajji have been cleared, Botha's case is still under investigation by the ICC.
It is not clear whether this has happened because of the tip-off by Shane Watson during the second one dayer in Dubai, but its clear the Umpires have found enough evidence.
Whats with these doosras anyway ? I think, with players all over the world starting to learn to negotiate spin , ever other spinner now a days is turning to doosras to baffle the batsmen. Look at how successful Murali has been with it, and not to mention Bhajji's doosras which Ponting and co failed to read many a times in recent times.
