Thanks Chairs, please do update this thread periodically - let's make it a sorta log kinda thing.

And Ajmal's "medical condition" lol - I don't really think he has any clue what he's talking about. It's not about ARM BEND, but about how much you STRAIGHTEN - so you're telling me there's some bizarre medical condition that automatically makes you straighten your arm 15+ degrees? LMAO

Haha go Stevie boy! Loved that interview.

Also, glad that Hafeez got reported. It can't be just me who felt his action looked dodgy af. Seemed like blatant pelting sometimes.

With all the bowlers being reported for suspect action I think the icc should start having some bowling clinics every couple of months to show the players what is acceptable and what is not. It is obviously a coaching issue and not knowing the rules for bowling a legal delivery. Maybe the problem is the icc and they should relax the rules a little.

John Davidson, a Cricket Australia spin coach has voiced his concerns that the recent crackdown in penalising bowlers with suspect or illegal actions might be too little, too late, fearing that many upcoming cricketers who have grown up emulating their heroes might be at risk.

Waqar Younis feels that the crackdown on suspect actions should have taken place AFTER the World Cup. 

I guess his outburst should come as no surprise given that both Ajmal and Hafeez have been reported for their suspect actions.

Perhaps the most perplexing aspect of AT&T Stadium, otherwise known as “Jerry World,” is the glare from the sun that bursts through the windows and shines directly onto the field. Time and time again the glare has impacted players’ visibility during games, yet Jerry Jones refuses to make any changes to account for the sun.

Rather than install curtains, Jones has previously said he feels it’s a home-field advantage to have that type of stadium factor impacting games. Well, the glare ended up benefitting the Chiefs early into Thursday’s Thanksgiving game, as a pass from Dak Prescott to George Pickens fell incomplete, at least in part due to the impact of the sun’s glare.

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

WarrenJameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.

I focus on what I would love. And what I would love is for this team to have success."
