Sri Lanka Malinga

[Give it to Ron]

That action is very questionable isn't it.....not far off a chucker but

he is very accurate with his yorker.

[Smirking_Saint]

IMO it shouldn't be allowed, he just bungs it.

[Hatch]

People keep saying that he is within the rules.

 

That doesn't mean he is right, what it means is, is that the rules are wrong.

I think Malinga's brilliant - at least he's a bit different, and does deliver the ball with a straight arm.

 

I know they're both spinners and have been called into question before, but I consider both Muralitharan and Botha's actions to be dodgier.

 

Watch them in slo-mo and I reckon they're both chuckers.

apparently he has a medical reason why arm has to be so low, strange thing is he is not quite as effective in rest cricket

murali is a cheat as far as im concerned- he throws the ball gets a load of spin and gets wickets from it

[St Chalet]

Malinga is a chucker end of. Arm may be straight but his wrist is c o c ked at release point.

 

Should be called IMHO.

[L1Minus10]

When they repeatedly cleared Murali they opened a can of worms. Murali is a chucker, end of. Birth defect my arse. I loved that quote from Bishen Bedi where he said something along the lines of all Murali's wickets should be declared run outs.

 

 

I don't have a problem with Malinga as his arm is straight - it's just odd and pretty amazing that he's that accurate..
