Except Saqlain, No one bowled the doosra legally. No one. Thats the truth.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

He's probably correct as no bowler even attempts it now.

 

[ElRaja]

saeed ajmal did more to ruin saqlains legacy than anyone else, its one thing having a kink or being discrete, this guy was pelting rocks in front of state or the art cameras, lol.

glad the ICC cracked down on this silliness.

 

[Manunited18]

Ajmal was a blatant chucker, make no mistake about that.

 

[Mamoon]

Ajmal is not only a chucker but also a liar. He claimed that it is not physically possible for him to bowl within the prescribed limits due to a childhood accident, but when he was banned, he was able to physically remodel his action.

He is a black stain on Pakistan’s cricket history and thankfully he is not remembered anymore. No one talks about him, he has no legacy.

He ruined the careers of superior spinners in domestic cricketer who couldn’t compete with him because of the unfair advantage that he had due to his chucking, and once he was forced to bowl with a legal action, he was rubbish.

In spite of chucking, he couldn’t compete with Swann in Test cricket and had an inferior record in most countries.

ICC should have banned him earlier - he has throwing the ball since day one but it certainly got worse over time. It is a shame that ICC never banned Muralitharan due to political pressure though.

 

[TheSultan]

Shall Pakistan’s test victory in 2012 be overturned then?

 

[Saj]

Can't blame Ajmal, it was down to the umpires to call him out and until that happened he bowled brilliantly.

I think the doosra was a magnificent delivery and there was a bit of jealousy from some quarters regarding the ability to bowl it.
