Pune Warriors' Marlon Samuels
This is not the first time Samuels' off-spinners have come under scrutiny. During a Test match against South Africa at Durban in 2008, umpires Simon Taufel of Australia and Dar, who also officiated in that game, had reported his action for the same âfast ball'. However, the International Cricket Council (ICC) cleared his action last year. Against Chennai, Samuels bowled one at a speed of over 122 kmph.u00a0As of now, Samuels can bowl but if reported once again, he will be debarred from bowling during matches. u00a0
