Which delivery was it? Bouncer?

A number of deliveries actually..this is an excerpt from the press coverage

The PCB today received a formal and detailed report from Cricket Australia on Mohammad Hasnain's assessment test, which stated his elbow extension for his good length delivery, full length delivery, slow bouncer and bouncer exceeded the 15-degree limits," the PCB said in a statement. "The PCB has discussed the report with its own bowling experts and is confident that the problem can be resolved. The PCB will now appoint a bowling consultant who will work with Mohammad Hasnain so that he can rectify his bowling action and be ready for a reassessment."

If Bumrah can be allowed all along, don't know why this young kid needs to be in trouble. Looks fine to me

 

[hasanali]

He's a really talented lad and has improved a lot over the last few years. I hope we keep faith with him.

 

[NeVerMind]

He's young, give him time... It took a while for Rauf to become the bowler he is today... Same chances should be given to Hasnain

 

[Fenrir]

There is nothing wrong with his action.Bowlers from certain countries have worse actions but no questions them.

 

[Major]

What a cheat. You recently got cleared, if you are gonna cheat atleast be abit dicrete.

The chucking was very obvious today. Dont know if our local umpires have the guts to report him, especially with rameez raja who likes to influence things.

The bent was quite obvious today. Hopefully is caught and banned

 

[Mobashir]

Is there a video?

Posters are saying he is chucking, but the umpires haven't said anything.

How will it help you to watch a video? And why do you care of what posters are saying? You only care about what ICC says. He is playing so his action his 100% fine. If his actions isn't fine anymore he will be removed from the team.

I saw the highlights and there's a decent side shot of him bowling one of his quick deliveries and he looked totally fine to the naked eye. A picture can never tell you about the legality of someone's action.

True. I think he got a lot to potential and will turn out really good in coming years like Shaheen and Rauf. Selectors need to keep faith in him. Also got a beautiful action and great speed. Other countries could only dream of having such a young lad bowling thunderbolts

Very true and thanks for that observation.

Your word cannot be taken for this.

Suggest you look up the highlights and tell us why you think that is the case.

I thought his action was pretty clean all along but the delivery in the 19th which got hit for 4 over the gully fielder had a side-on angle on the replay and I was like uh oh. There was a kink to his action, you could see it clearly.

 

[Ahmed216]

Still think he needs to work on his run up to improve his control. It becomes even more important at the death where even slight errors in lengths can go for runs

 

[TheSultan]

Generally looks fine.

He needs to work on his action more from an efficiency perspective than legality. His Load up could be better
