What's new

Is it time that the ICC tested Jasprit Bumrah’s action?

How can Bumrah throw?

1. People have no idea what "throwing" in cricket means albeit bending and straightening.

2. How it's literally impossible to hyperextend and then throw the ball.

3. Malinga has a more straighter action and didn't hyperextend but was NEVER called out in his career even though he had greater ability to chuck the ball by potentially bending.

If Bumrah is throwing then people need to redefine the rules of cricket and include hyperextension as part of the "throw".

He is NEVER going to be called as long as he is legal.

And not because he is Indian.

But because laws say so..
 
I would love Bumrah to get tested while he is playing well. While its pretty clear to me he would be cleared of chucking. Thorough testing would would give great insight into how hypertension impacts bowling. Could be very useful to future bowlers who had similar condition.
