Does anyone think Welegedera chucks?

[rkt.india]

His bowling action is quite doubtful for me. I want your opinions about it.

[davidcooper]

NO

[rkt.india]

what I see is he keeps his elbow bent when delivers the bowl. Need to check his elbow in slomo

[The Dark Horse]

^if thats the case everyone chucks

[rkt.india]

that was the case with Kamran khan too and his style is quite similar to Kamran Khan and bent elbow means chuck.

[Rajiv]

He sure chucks, chucked out our batsmen

[rkt.india]

I felt like that in a few of his deliveries when his action changes a bit

[vvvslaxman]

Not suspect to naked eye.

if he doesn't band his elbow more than 45 degrees angle he is fine! Any videos of him bowling?

Rkt.India, get in line. The first time i saw him on day 1 of the first test, I felt something was amiss. In fact, I had also posted a video of the Ruchira Perera, another Lankan left-arm over, bowling. There is an uncanny similarity between the actions of these two bowlers and Ruchira Perera was 'called'. With reg. to Welegedera, his action looks ok in general, but at certain points, especially in the subsequent spells of the day, when he's a little tired and his action falls apart a bit, something seems 'wrong'. There's no doubt in my mind that his left bowling arm isnt as straight as it could be, during the delivery stride. However, the rules say you can have a bent arm, but the extension of it should not be more than 15 degrees. So, even though, to the naked eye, his action does seem a bit suspect, he may well come out clean.

:omg:

I meant to say 180-45 = 135 degrees...:yes: I think that's what the rule says...

[Sachinism]

I think the rule is about 15-19 degrees. I'll have to look it up, but 45 degrees is way too much allowance

Thats not how it is.If the arm remains the same during delivery stride,thats not a chuck.On the other hand chucking is not just bent elbow.Benting the elbow and then straightening it during delivery is also chucking.
