Clear but impotent?


Shabbir Ahmed has made a comeback. It appears that his new action has been cleared, and given Pakistan's current situation as far as fast bowling goes, it may not be long before his 5 wickets/match are given a call back (51 wickets, 10 matches). Shoaib and Asif's current situation, Rana Naved and Sami's inability to get any meaningful wickets and the PCB's unwillingness to give Shahid Nazir and Samiullah Niazi an extended run all seem to point towards a Shabbir comeback. More interestingly though, all will harken back to the last test he played, against England. After an ineffectual first spell, he came back to take Trescothick's, Jones' and Giles' wickets and thats where he got tagged for the final time with problems with his bowling action. Let's hope that doesn't happen again.
