I agree DesiChap. I have always felt how ICC's bowling expert's let him off the hook. He does bent his arm!

Thats a really good vid.

Murali releases the ball in a clean way there is no issues!

Yep, i was thinking the same. Its only that the ball comes out from the side of the hand, like a leg spinner(but the other side), rather than a pacer, where the ball comes out from the top of the hand..

Yep' date=' i was thinking the same. Its only that the ball comes out from the side of the hand, like a leg spinner(but the other side), rather than a pacer, where the ball comes out from the top of the hand..[/quote'] His hand is almost bent at right angles when it is comes to the side and then he straightens it. If you can't call this a chuck, them Akhtar has got to have a clean action as well.

And compare that video to this one, xynobj9JYlw If anything Shoaib's action has deteriorated over the years.

It is okay to bowl using Javelin type action. Jeff Thomspon the fastest bowler used to have this action puu9GwiyqNM

Jeff THompson had a sling action like Malinga. Chuktar's is not a sling action. There is a lot of difference.

Coffee, Sling action(Slingshot) and Javelin action are the same. This is what all of these players are using

[siddhu]

throwing.. without a doubt. actually throwing is too nice a word. Chucking... without a doubt.

Coffee' date=' Sling action(Slingshot) and Javelin action are the same. This is what all of these players are using[/quote'] Okay, But in his latest avtaar, Shoaib is not bowling slingshot. Thompson and Malinga before they release the ball, do a reverse bowling action when the arm swivels back and goes straight forward without any bending and straightening. Shoaib just lifts his shoulder, extends this arm back and goes forward while bending and straightening. Bending is not the real issue here. But straightening after bending gives a clear action of a chuck.

This is all part of the exshitement he brings to cricket - Dope - Gundaism - Swagger - Hype - Chucking - Big mouth He is the Dennis Rodman of cricket.
