Lethal flex
Muttiah Muralitharan again came under the International Cricket Council's scanner. The ICC said he could be banned for up to 12 months if he continued to bowl his doosra because his action exceeded official guidelines.
Murali underwent tests on his action at the University of Western Australia after being reported by match referee Chris Broad during Sri Lanka's Test series against Australia.
The 31-year-old off-spinner bowled in front of 12 cameras at the university with his body strapped in reflective markers so a computer could track his action.
He was later asked to erase the doosra from his bowling repetoire.
