IS LASITH MALINGA A CHUCKER

Is Lasith Malinga chucking the ball, has he achieved all these records and became a rising star by chucking the ball? This is a question raised by most of the people who are getting along with cricket.

If we open the book of cricket laws and regulations and Turns to the page which says all about chucking and if all of that was analyzed, what can be seen is that the action of Malinga is completely legal.

One of the things that should be fulfilled in order for a bowler’s action to be legal is that the arm of the bowler shouldn’t bent more than a 15 degree angle at the delivery stride.

The other legal aspect is that the arm should come over the shoulder level of the bowler.

If carefully analyzed, it can be seen that Malinga is fulfilling both of these needs. Although Malinga has a round arm action, it is above the shoulder and it is straight at the point of delivery.

It’s quite natural to have a doubt when someone sees such an action for the first time. But the thing that they should realize is that the ICC is constantly having a close eye on all the international bowlers in the field today. If a bowler needs to be change with his action ICC will immediately inform the cricket board of that particular country.

After all these things, if someone still wants to say Malinga is chucking, then he or she is nothing but a moron who doesn’t understand the sport of cricket.
