I know the 1 run penalty may seem minute to some, but its a better solution than all this rubbish a bowler has to go through if he gets tired and bowls with an illegal action (<<not creating excuses for Shabbir).

How about 3 strikes and your out.
So each time it's classed as a No Ball. Get warned 3 times your out of the attack and then get a full inspection.

Since when have Australia played Australia in Australia?
As pom means Australians if you look it up

And Pakistan had three fifty opening partnerships in five innings so far. You won't hear me complaining about this. There were times worse then this.
But Malik especially doesn't look that good as opener, although he has a lot of talent.
And Udal is good for Pakistan. I hope he plays for the ODI series too. I wonder if they will do that, or just will play with all pace bowling attack.
Not selected in it thankfully.
I think loudon should've played this game. Good with the bat, and different with the ball. Why do we keep playing Spinners when they are all ****?
If Giles plays in the Ashes next year we'll lose, if he doesn't we'll win imo.

Completely agreed, Flintoffs had lots of pace on it, Akmals catch albeit very good didn't have alot of pace, and once he got there he would've been lambasted if he dropped it. But if Freddy had dropped the other one he wouldn't have been.
