for another day maybe but I must say I wonder how people feel about Ajmal, Shillingford, Samuels, Bhajji [Botha has given up international cricket so slides off my list] - even Prosper if I'm brutally honest?

there are plenty of chuckers around. The Murali rules have made a mockery of bowling, especially the slow stuff.

If we can restrict the lead to under 250, maybe there's an outside chance? Need to clean up the tail pretty quickly...

The problem for Zimbabwe is the pitch is starting to misbehave a bit now. If Ajmal dominated in the first innings, he's probably going to have a field day in the second.

I don't understand what you mean.

I had no problem with Murali (although apparently he was not the reason for the change anyway but rather many bowlers after testing - primarily Bhajji) cos I never saw the arm straighten ... it looked bent the whole way through.

anyway ... more importantly ...

Oh, you're talking about bowling action. I thought you were just talking about whether people liked off-spinners in general... that's what I meant when I said I didn't understand what you meant :)
