Dodgy action

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

on another thread, there are picture of this bowler chucking

 

[pasha404]

Action doesn’t look clean

 

[shah_1]

He has hypertension, see the sideway video posted by Rashid Latif.

See post#1 for additional video on this issue.

 

[Saj]

Well according to a few people I have spoken to about this guy, they are saying he could break Shoaib Akhtar's record of the fastest ever delivery.

Now that is some claim!

 

[Nado_]

How old is this dude

 

[Bewal Express]

Action looks dodgy.

 

[shamaan]

Looks double jointed.

 

[Saj]

How old is this dude

Born 2nd Jan 2002
Place of birth Bajaur agency
Height 5 11

 

[SpiritOf1903]

The elbow is a right angle..

 

[The Googly]

1. Looks older then claimed
2. Action is dodgy even accounting for biomechanics findings
3. Jury is very much out

 

[ElRaja]

just because he hyper extends does not mean he does not straighten

some stills from that video



u guys can make your own mind up.

his release point is pretty much identical to bumrah tho, so even if he bowls 140 itll seem like 145 given he shortens the pitch significantly.

If its halal for Bumrah, it should be halal for both, my own opinion is that they are both dodgy

 

[ElRaja]

just to clarify im not saying bumrah chucks, i havnt got a side on slow motion of his load up, however as far as siraj is concerned between the flexion and straightening i believe there might be a problem. the hyper extension to release, which he shares with bumrah, is legal.

 

[mazkhan]

That action looks proper dodgy

This. Also, he looks like any other Pakistani of that age ?..why the doubts. KPK are hardened people so look older anyway

 

[MenInG]

That action looks proper dodgy

Read above, his action has been certified by LUMS centre

 

[shah_1]

Read above, his action has been certified by LUMS centre

He is cleared by a LAB that is approved by ICC so people need to be quiet about it.

Think some looking for validation when its already there!

 

[Muhammad Saad]

That sling shot from his delivery will produce natural outswing in any condition even with semi new ball now even if he is manage consistent 140ks he will be deadly on every surface and every format provided he is accurate enough

 

[Bewal Express]

I think the picture will be much clearer when he plays in front of an audience in a full match.

 

[Saj]

PZ have signed him for PSL7 so one would expect that they have done their homework regarding the validity of his bowling action with his coaches and the PCB?

The only thing that matters is the Biomechanics Lab results to me.

Let's hope you are right

Do you really think so.

So far, so good but as you know I am a critic of Bumrahs action and I know when I see a legitimate action. When he plays I will be able to tell very quickly but it goes without saying that I what I think is irrelevant and the ball will be in the court of the media and match officials. For the sake of this poor lad, I hope everything is good.

 

[Sherlock]

Good to see keyboard experts already ruling the action illegal based on a clip or two despite it being cleared thus far.

As I said it makes no difference what I think because I am an irrelevant poster on cricket forum. If he is cleared by the powers, all is good. But we are here to give opinions, as worthless as they are.

Yes but ‘player A is great/rubbish’ is an opinion.

‘Player A’s action is illegal because my eyes tell me despite what the official ICC testing and benchmark show’ is just your ego and bias talking.

So with all due respect, it is curious this position you’ve taken.

From the video shown , I am sceptical. As I said it makes no difference whatsoever what I think. Ultimately it will be decided by people above my pay grade. And to be clear I hope the poor lad makes a career.
