England can play with a straight bat after all
Posted on January 21, 2012
But it’s not any of the batsmen I’m on about, it’s Andy Flower. By straight batting away questions about Saeed Ajmal’s bowling action (mainly in the form of his Doosra), Flower is basically refusing to endorse his action and has probably risked causing another breakdown in relations between the two sides, relations that are currently only in the infancy of being rebuilt. Personally I think it’s more the English media up to a bit of mischief making, rather than the England team. The media seem to be asking anyone at any opportunity about Ajmal’s action, and in fairness so far Strauss, Prior and Swann have already refused to take the bait, instead insisting it isn’t an issue. Andy Flower on the other hand, didn’t say anything, but he also refused to endorse the action when asked, a lack of action he must have known would grab the attention of the sh-t stirrers and headline writers.
The rest is here:
