Re: Re:
Well at least you're not denying they were tampering with the ball. Now that would be nonsenseParker said:Eyeballs Out said:The Pakistan team of the 90s were doing exactly what the Australians are doing now. 1992 at Lords for example. Waqar himself got caught some years laterParker said:Interestingly cricket does have a lesson to teach the Clinic. And that's the story of reverse swing.
Back in 1992 two Pakistani bowlers - Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis - demolished England with a bowling innovation called 'reverse swing'. At the time a lot of people accused them of cheating saying that it wasn't physically possible. Here's the article in that year's Wisden (cricket bible): http://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/152058.html
Fast forward to now reverse swing is an established fact and one of the best exponents is England's most prolific wicket taker, Jimmy Anderson
The moral of the story is just because you can't explain something, it's doesn't follow that it's cheating.
The moral of the story being if it quacks....
Nonsense. People said that reverse swing was impossible and was a result of cheating. This was proved wrong. Reverse swing is a cricket standard now.
