The former South African fast bowler, Allan Donald, has argued in favor of legalizing the ball tempering. He favors the move to overcome the effect of dodo pitches and explosive batsmen by changing the nature of the ball. It’s has started a debate in the cricket world, with former world cricket players giving their opinion on the same. Srinath, former Indian pace bowler calls it illegal while Akram attributes Donald’s naive views to his inability to bowl reverse swing in his career. Nevertheless the question now arises whether it’ll be fair enough to legalize the ball tempering? Won’t it be bias with batsmen in a gentlemen’s game?
