Who Can Be Called An Orthodox Bowler In The Current Sri Lankan Team?  email this discussion to a friend?

GiriPrasath (23)   ranked 611 out of 1,869 in cricket 3 years ago

Sri Lanka are yet to lose a match in the ongoing World T20 mainly due to their impressive bowling performances. But see at their main strike bowlers:

MALINGA: He has a sling action, which is new in cricket. He delivers the ball right in front of the umpire's right sided shoulder.

UDANA: His action cannot be questioned. But he bowls 5 out of 6 balls in an over with a spinner's pace. Then why would he run-in as a medium pace bowler.

MENDIS: He is a leg spinner who spins the ball with one finger.

MURALIDHARAN: He is an all time great. But his action was under scrutiny more than once in his career.

Who can be called an orthodox bowler in the current Sri Lankan team?

1. myLot reputation of 88/100. bhaskarsrkr (1005)   3 years ago

really good observation.I too thought the same when they were playing against newzealand.
I think Kulashekhara is the only one bowler who has normal action and orthodox.The part timers like Jayasuriya and Dilshan are also OK.

I still do not understand how can Malinga's bowling action be acceptable.I do not know much about what is wrong bowling action.but that is a baseball bowling action.But unquestionably wonderful bowler.happy

Malinga has a low arm action but other than him the rest are alright with their action. No one other than him has bowled with such an action. Mendis releases the ball with his middle finger which has been done by a few before. Murlitharan bowls with a proper action. Even though he has been reported before he was not the first one to be reported. Even harbhajan has been reported and he has a fairly orthodox action. Dilshan and jayasuriya have proper actions and so does kulasekara.

none of their main bowlers can be called as orthodox.kulasekara is orthodox.dilshan to an extent is orthodox.
