Shillingford Suspended, Bailey hits world record, End of McCullum as a International Wicket keeper

The ICC has suspended Shane Shillingford, the West Indies offspinner, from bowling in international cricket after his action was found illegal. His team-mate Marlon Samuels, who is a part-time offspinner, has been prohibited from bowling quicker deliveries in international cricket.

George Bailey, Australia's newest Test player, has joined Brian Lara in the history books by equalling his world record of 28 runs in a Test over. Bailey's assault came off the bowling of James Anderson in the final over of Australia's second innings at the WACA and matched Lara's mauling of Robin Peterson at the Wanderers, which occurred ten years ago almost to the day.

Brendon McCullum's days as an international wicketkeeper appear over after the New Zealand coach Mike Hesson conceded he was too valuable as a captain and batsman to risk behind the stumps with a long-standing back problem.
