been watching this morning, well done england, but i am sure he has been discussed before on here, Ajmal is throwing the ball more often than not. I am a level2 cricket coach and i wouldnt be allowed to let a kid carry on with an action like that! he bowled(loosely termed) 2 balls in succession this morning with same run up, approach and till shoulder height same action, then he let the first go and it was 69mph and the second 47mph. you just cannot do it in a normal bowling action. Are the authorities scared to go after this man as for the recent previous misdemeanours of pakistan?
 

Billy Bowden called him for his action acouple of years ago and the ICC cleared him. That's not to say that he can't be called again.

i dont think he is turning the ball massively either, varying degrees of pace are being gained and the alot of the time the arm looks well past this 15degree(nonsense) rule.

I think we could do with a couple more wickets before they overtake us. Misbah and Azar would be nice!

I bet Monty wishes that he could roll this strip up and carry it around in his kitbag!

Scores level, I wouldn't be confident in us chasing over 50!

I think I'd give Broad a bowl.

This partnership is getting rather frustrating.

Could really do with a wicket here.

Well this partnership has really thrown a spanner in the works. So they are essentially 55-4, we are still in front but need quick wickets tomorrow morning. It's been a great Test match.

England still ahead and I expect them to win tomorrow chasing a target of circa  150.  So far a great exhibition of test cricket. Well done to both teams.

Well we got them out for a decent target. Cook gone already and I think Strauss should have been gone. I'm nervous.

We are in trouble here. Right Pietersen step the fuck up.
