Sad to hear of Ajmal's ban… I can possibly understand the doosra but offbreaks? I hope he can correct his actions in time for CWC'15

Make no mistake that bowling a Doosra and reverse swing are brilliant skills.. Do we want the Doosra banned?

“@dhraza: @BumbleCricket what do you make of the news that Saeed Ajmal has been banned?” Inevitable ….

Career ending for Ajmal, will never sort that action out. Can you imagine Murali changing action and being just as effective ?

2 UAE spinners had doosras ruled illegal & another is absent pending testing. They always felt they suffered as board isn't as strong as PCB
