Harbhajan upset over chucking report

International Cricket Council match referee Chris Broad and umpires Steve Bucknor and Darrell Hair were unhappy with Harbhajan's 'doosra' delivery during the second innings of the second Test against Pakistan in Kolkata.

"I personally feel disappointed at the way they have been handling my case," Harbhajan told the New Delhi Television (NDTV) channel in an interview.

He took four wickets in the match, which India won by 195 runs on Sunday to go 1-0 up in the three-Test series.

He was playing in his first match after he was reported over the same delivery, the one which spins away from a right-hander, by Broad during the second Test against Bangladesh at Chittagong in December.

"After one match, again and again the same complaint," he said. "I went to Australia and cleared the test, but what is the point.

"If there was something wrong with my action, it would have come out in the (Elliott) report."

Harbhajan said he was ready to undergo the process all over again. "It's up to the Indian board now. I'll do whatever the board wants me to."

The ICC has said Harbhajan will now undergo independent analysis of his action by a member of its panel of human movement specialists, but was free to continue playing.

The ICC introduced a new threshold on March 1 allowing all bowlers to straighten their arms by up to 15 degrees.

Previously, spinners were only permitted to straighten their arms by five degrees, medium pacers 7.5 and fast bowlers by 10.

Harbhajan was also reported for a suspect action in 1998, but was cleared after undergoing corrective steps under former England spinner Fred Titmus.
