Gul claims he saw Anderson tamper with ball
PTI
Karachi, October 2, 2011
Pakistan speedster Umar Gul is set to kick up a storm as he has claimed that he saw
English pacer James Anderson tamper with the ball last year during a Test match.
The seasoned pacer, who is tipped to make a comeback to the national side for the coming
series against Sri Lanka, said ball-tampering was not new in international cricket, and it
was being done through legal and illegal methods by many bowlers and teams.
"I saw Anderson do it last year when we went to England.
Then in the Ashes series Stuart Broad was seen roughing up the ball with his boots. All
these methods are part and parcel of the game to obtain reverse swing with the old ball,"
Gul said.
"Most of the bowlers tamper with the ball in international cricket," he added.
Gul's comments that are likely to ignite a new debate came when reporters asked him about
the remarks made by Shoaib Akhtar in his controversial autobiography recently released in
India.
The retired fast bowler, in his book, has admitted to ball-tampering and claims it is
common in Pakistan's domestic cricket. Shoaib has called on the ICC to legalise
ball-tampering. Gul said if Shoaib was saying he tampered with the ball, he must have done
it.
"I can't say much on that, but yes many bowlers do it.
When you use finger nails to scratch the ball it is illegal, but when the fielders keep on
throwing the ball on rough and dry pitches or the ball hits the advertising boards and
sponsors signs, it is not illegal," he said.
Gul said whether the ball was roughed up legally or illegally, it remained an art to
obtain reverse swing with it.
"Obtaining reverse swing is an art and must be recognized as one."
But Gul didn't agree with Shoaib's suggestion to legalise ball tampering, insisting this
would spoil the beauty of the game.
"It should not be legalised because laws can't be changed on this, and it should remain an
art."
Gul, who has taken 125 test, 134 ODI and 47 wickets in T20 cricket, said Pakistani bowlers
had always been accused of ball-tampering, and it was nothing new.
"But in the past, no match official has come up with any evidence against us, nor has any
camera caught us. This talk about ball tampering is not new to us. But reverse swing is
something that comes naturally to us, and it is an art passed down from generation to
generation," he explained.
Ball-tampering allegations have always surrounded the Pakistani bowlers, and in 2000,
match referee John Reid banned and fined Waqar Younis and Azhar Mahmood for tampering with
the ball in Sri Lanka.

Ok White Christian American FBI, CIA and NSA Terrorist Motherfucker marc.o,
I got your secret message.
To the Uninitiated Dumb Human Filth reading this message,
Couple of days back FBI, CIA and NSA Terrorist Motherfuckers entered
my LOCKED bedroom in the night when I was asleep and inserted something
in my right thigh and remotely created pain the next two days in the day time.
Yesterday I checked the area of pain on my right thigh and found two small circular
dots 0.75 cm apart which were created by these WESTERN WHITE CHRISTIAN
EVIL FBI, CIA and NSA TERRORIST PSYCHOPATHS.
The Government Psychopaths YOU WORSHIP read my "private thoughts" and
posted this secret message with Username "marc.o" which means the two white marks
which looked like "o".
When will YOU DUMB WESTERNERS realize and ACCEPT that it is NOT the
Muslim terrrorists but the FORKED TONGUED CUNNING WESTERN WHITE
CHRISTIAN TERRORISTS that are the MOST EVIL ANIMALS in human history ?

Well if the ball hits the advertising boards then that's collateral
damage. Or the batsman's fault. No problems there.
I'm never sure about this throwing the ball onto the rough patches.
You'd want to rough up one particular portion of the ball, and you
won't get that right by throwing it at something.
I'm not happy about treading on the ball with studded boots.
But these things have been going on a long time. I'm wondering if
there's more or less lifting the seam with so many TV cameras around
these days.
