Will Spin Bowling Recover From Narine And Ajmal Ban?

Are bans to the best spinners in the world a blow to cricket and to spin bowling?

Quote:The uncertainty surrounding law and its execution has spawned a thousand conspiracy theories. From the very inception of the 15-degree rule, there was talk that it was put in place to accommodate one particular bowler. Lately, the crackdown is viewed in some quarters as a means of assuaging the powerful and silencing the upstarts; a means of stifling the danger posed to big teams like Australia, England and India by bowlers like Saeed Ajmal and Narine.

Such feelings run deeper than many think. West Indies chief selector and legend, Clive Lloyd, questioned Narines banning "just before an important series against India and the World Cup that follows." Lloyd, speaking from Mumbai's Brabourne Stadium, went on to say that WICB and the West Indies team management were warned by a "highly reliable source" before they arrived in India that Narine would have been called. A stunning revelation, to say the least, and one that is bound to add more fuel to the conspiracy theorists fire.

Spin Will Move Forward Despite Narine And Ajmal Ban

Exactly Bro!

these two men are so good they will recover. its the guys of lesser talents who wont make it back.

But was it the shenanigans with the elbow that made them good? Was that the real reason for their deceptiveness? If you read the article or are familiar with what Ashwin said you will see what he gave as the reason for mimicking Ashwin's action. Is he on to something that the flexing of the elbow allows the bowler to do much more than what the non-flexing elbow allows?

Of course spin bowling will recover. Remember that these bans are only for Indian domestic cricket and the champions league. They can still play international cricket and cricket else where. When they get called out for suspect action on the international stage then that will be a different thing. I think Narine will be back for the South Africa series this year.
