Dawn Shoaib faces more trouble
1 November 2001

Pakistan's controversial paceman could be in trouble again over his bowling action.

Although not officially reported by the umpires and the match referee Denis Lindsay of South Africa, the officials Wednesday viewed video footage of his action for long time in the morning.

Shoaib had earlier been reported for suspect action but was later cleared by a panel of International Cricket Conference (ICC).

However, many observers who watched him bowling in the first two matches of the ongoing triangular tournament believed that all was not well Shoaib's action.

Shoaib played in the first two matches and took three wickets and looked anything but ordinary mortal. He was left out from Wednesday's clash against Zimbabwe and the team management described the decision to give him rest and give others a chance.
