Mike Atherton believes so - but Saqlain did to it without breaching any guidelines so it's possible!
Does he have any? We know him as a cool ODI/T20 captain but is he that good in Test matches?
I thought Ashwin would be a sure case in Lord's.
But it doesn't look so. Jaddu and Binny it is.
If its a total green track, I understand Binny (swing) and Jaddu (economy). But if its not that, then Ashwin should be coming in.
But seeing how things are unfolding, my answer is no he won't play (even if the pitch is not green).
What's your take guys?
1. Will he play?
2. Should he play?
We've discussed fast bowler actions to death. What about spinners?
I think Warne had the best action. Was so smooth, and involved so much shoulder strength it was hard to imitate properly (others like Steve Smith and Cameron White dabbled at imitating him but never got those shoulders involved like he did). Also the walk to the crease was pretty amazing. A casual stroll but with steely determination.
Abdul Qadir, Harbhajan and Narine would be the next tier for me.
Also, Carl Hooper for being so lazy with it.
