Watching The Hundred, Team Skips are making a decent fist of chasing a record 215 to beat the Brummies. Family favourite Finn Allen was on a charge but got out to Tariq. How on earth is his bowling action legal?

Just beyond them. Every time Tariq steps up to the crease and stops I think he's abandoned his delivery.

Yeah it shouldn’t be allowed. One thing I noticed in the IPL is that there are quite a few Malinga style slingers now which is bad enough but that stop before the delivery is very off putting. He also runs up outside the return crease then does a bit of a side step to get inside it at the last second. It’s just not cricket!

If you've got a video link I'd love to see this!

I think it was a bit of a tease. This Usman Tariq hat trick should give you an idea though.

Doesn't work for me - possibly as you've copied the google URL. Might be some session cookie nonsense, who knows?! I appreciate the effort.

Guess I'm destined not to learn about this fascinating man!

Matticus is unable to use a search engine for himself bless!

Anyway this is now the story of the day

lots of local knowledge and speculation on FMTTM if anyone is super interested

I refuse to watch the silly trojan 100.
Luckily there is plenty of One Day and true T20 available.
Today is the sell-out Durham match at Gosforth. Plus I am a few days behind on watching the LPL T20. Moeen Ali finally star performed to win a match, though he has played ok the whole tournament.

What do you do when two bowlers take 5 wickets?
You get the ground staff to cut it in half.

Heard Tongue's interview on the radio last night and was curious as to which way they'd cut it.

It would be tricky going against the seam.
