Thanks Chairs, please do update this thread periodically - let's make it a sorta log kinda thing.
And Ajmal's "medical condition" lol - I don't really think he has any clue what he's talking about. It's not about ARM BEND, but about how much you STRAIGHTEN - so you're telling me there's some bizarre medical condition that automatically makes you straighten your arm 15+ degrees? LMAO

Haha go Stevie boy! Loved that interview.
Also, glad that Hafeez got reported. It can't be just me who felt his action looked dodgy af. Seemed like blatant pelting sometimes.

With all the bowlers being reported for suspect action I think the icc should start having some bowling clinics every couple of months to show the players what is acceptable and what is not. It is obviously a coaching issue and not knowing the rules for bowling a legal delivery. Maybe the problem is the icc and they should relax the rules a little.

John Davidson, a Cricket Australia spin coach has voiced his concerns that the recent crackdown in penalising bowlers with suspect or illegal actions might be too little, too late, fearing that many upcoming cricketers who have grown up emulating their heroes might be at risk.

feels that the crackdown on suspect actions should have taken place AFTER the World Cup.
I guess his outburst should come as no surprise given that both Ajmal and Hafeez have been reported for their suspect actions.
