Looks like Ajmal had been reported, yet again, for chucking the ball a the stumps.
This this is the 2nd or 3rd time now he has been flagged up for illegal deliveries.
Hopefully this will finally put an end to it, and he will have to abide by the same rules as the other bowlers
CHUCKMAL

Ajmal doesn't chuck at all it's a load of rubbish. People just can't hack it that he's one of the best spinners in the world. They didn't like it with Murali and now doing the same with Ajmal.

Reported because some of the umpires are racist just like when apparently it was illegal for Shoaib Akhtar to bowl really fast

If the umpires are racist then why were Botha and Williamson banned from bowling?
I would like to know why exactly bowlers are allowed to bowl with a bent arm anyhow? Should they not have to bowl with a locked elbow like fast bowlers?
Additionally the 15% rule is stupid, because it gives an advantage to spinners. A fast bowlers flex is caused by the inertia of the ball held in the hand, spinners do not have the same excuse for having this limit. It would seem modern spinners are using this tolerance to "chuck" just a little bit to help out certain deliveries.
Aside from the freakish Muralia case what exactly is the justification for letter bowlers bowl with a bent arm?

Having played as a bowler for 20 odd years, I can assure you it is impossible to bowl the doosra without straightening you arm. We even tried it at work the other day, and none of my cricket playing colleagues could do it.
I believe Murili was a freakish exception, as was proved by the tests he did with the arm brace fitted. His arm was bent for the entirity of the delivery, which is legal. Only the straightening of the arm beyond 15deg is illegal.

End of the road for Ajmal. Suspended from bowling probably for good now considering he is 37.

Disappointing to see anyone banned. But I dunno how you can bowl the doosra without bending yer arm. likes been said. I feel sorry for offspinners though. They get no help bowling orthodox these days..

According to Cricinfo, Ajmal is pleased with his progress during his current rehab:
Ajmal said his elbow extension exceeded 15 degrees only for the doosra, and that all his other deliveries were now falling within the permitted limit. "I'm working hard on adjusting the doosra to ensure that it is also under 15 degrees and I'm confident that I will manage to do that.
Translation: Before, I terrorised batsmen by chucking every delivery. Now, I am throwing 'doosra' only.
