James Kirtley faced up to renewed scrutiny of his bowling action today and declared: "I will clear my name again."

The Sussex fast bowler may have to undergo remedial work at the end of the season after it was revealed that he has been reported twice this summer in Championship matches.

Umpires Barry Dudleston and John Hampshire expressed concerns about Kirtley's action in their report on Sussex's match against Hampshire at the Rosebowl in July.

And ECB's Director of First Class Cricket Operations John Carr confirmed yesterday that Kirtley has been reported again after umpires Barrie Leadbeater and David Constant viewed footage taken by Warwickshire's video analyist at Edgbaston last week.

The four umpires will now be invited to view the new film as well as footage taken when Kirtley's action was first cleared in March, 2001.

If they decide it has got worse Kirtley will have to undergo further remedial action.

The 30-year-old, who has taken over 900 wickets for Sussex in a career which began in 1995, is determined to carry on as normal even though he will now come under even more scrutiny.

He said: "I had hoped that it had been put to bed when I was cleared four years ago. It's frustrating and annoying but I will go about things in the right way, follow the correct protocol and I'm sure if it comes to it I'm very confident that I will be cleared again."

Meanwhile, i understand that Sussex are considering lodging a formal complaint to the ECB over the circumstances surrounding events at Edgbaston last week.

Warwickshire coach John Inverarity initially expressed his concerns privately to Sussex's Director of Cricket Peter Moores but it wasn't until Monday that Moores became aware that the umpires had been invited to view Warwickshire's footage before Saturday's play and subsequently decided to report Kirtley.

Moores said: "We are disappointed with the Warwickshire handled it. Outside agencies knew about it before we did and I think that shows a lack of integrity on their part."

Skipper Chris Adams was more forthright. He added: "I walked away from Warwickshire feeling disappointed about one or two members of their club whom I'd held in the highest regard. It's always upsetting when people let you down like that."

Kirtley's action first came under scrutiny in 2000 after he was reported by the ICC match referee for throwing when he made his England debut in a one-day series against Zimbabwe.

Bowlers are now allowed 15 degrees leeway and when he was last filmed Kirtley's was between 10-12 degrees.

The county were closing ranks around their vice-captain today but Kirtley sure to come under the spotlight again tonight in a totesport League game against Surrey at Hove which is being televised live by Sky Sports.

He added: "When I had remedial work in 2001 the law allowed ten degrees of movement. It's now 15 so you could say that I'm allowed 50 per cent more leeway.

"The cameras they used are 3D which are more precise but on normal film a lot of the rotations go un-noticed.

"I'm in the spotlight again and I will just have to handle that. It's an important time of the season. We're top of the one-day league and looking to challenge in the Championship so I can't let it become a distraction for me or the team."
