     Pak skipper Younis Khan has blamed the Australians for creating issues while playing against the sub-continents like India and Pakistan after teammate Saeed Ajmal was reported for a suspect bowling action by Australian all-rounder Shane Watson during the ongoing ODI series in Dubai and Abu-Dhabi.

     Younis Khan said controversies reared up whenever Australia play sub-continental sides and wondered what was wrong in Ajmal bowling a 'doosra', the subject of the reporting.This is always happening with India and Pakistan and Australia.Why do we create all the time controversies? Why? It's a fair game, you know.It was simply a matter of Ajmal bowling a quicker ball, and not cheating.

     You are talking about the doosra, 'Why he bowl doosra?' "Why shouldn't Ajmal bowl doosra? Because this is an art and specially Pak and Indian players have the art of bowling Doosra's, so why should it not be allowed?.Ajmal played in the third ODI in Abu Dhabi on Monday, despite the report hanging over him, and continued to bowl his doosra.

     Younis also pointed out to a previous report laid over the faster ball of Pakistan leg-spinner Shahid Afridi.We are not cheating actually, sometimes they ask you why should you bowl very fast and then they say why should Afridi bowl a ball suddenly at 140kph? "We are not cheating actually, I think that is the beauty of cricket.

     Australian skipper Michael Clarke tried to play down the controversy, saying Watson had not made a specific complain to umpires about Ajmal's action.Watto certainly didn't go to the umpires and say a word, none of our players have approached the umpires and spoken about it.I think Watto was pretty upset with the shot he played and getting out. He's been in really good nick the whole tour and I think he has been a bit disappointed as he did not score runs what he expected.

     We would concentrate on the game and leave the legalities to International Cricket Council to sort out.For us I think the way this tournament has been played, the spirit of the game has been fantastic. Both teams have got on really well, it has been such a good tour so far.So all that stuff's up to the ICC to make a decision on what's going to happen there, but for us as a team it's about making sure that whichever way the ball's spinning try and pick it and try and hit it, said Michael Clarke.
