If South Africa beat New Zealand 3-0 in their next series, then we drop to second. It's a shame that the SA-Eng series is only going to be three tests, as it could be a cracker.Comment

Mind you, I do object to the rules of fair bowling being changed/re-interpreted every time a new chucker comes out of the sub-continent.
Someone should teach them the rules of "Hide & Seek", they're crap at that, what with Bin Laden hiding right under their noses and half the ******* Taliban leaping over the border at every chance.
The Yanks can bomb the bastard place off the face of the earth for all I care.Comment

Originally posted by TheFaQQer View PostThe bowling rules haven't been re-interpreted, though. They have been consistent for a number of years. The Pakistani spinner (can't remember which one it was) who has a "suspect" action has been investigated by the ICC and they have cleared him against the current rules.
He obviously threw, so they examined his action and defined the maximum straightening 'angle' in the throw to 15 degrees, to allow him to carry on bowling.
In laboratory conditions (where the tests take place) it is easy to bowl within that. But not out in the middle where a bowler is looking to rip it (and where they are not tested).Comment

Since 2005, four bowlers have been banned / sanctioned - 2 Pakistanis, 1 Bangladeshi, 1 South African and 1 English.Comment
