Hey guys!!! What do u think?? Is Lasith Malinga of Sri lanka a chucker??? I think so... Coz he throws the ball rather than bowling.. i think ICC should take an action against him.. If ICC can harress Harbhajan Singh without any reason, they why they dont take any actions against Malinga??? What is ur opinion guys???

No he is not at all a chucker.. He is a round arm bowler. Not many bowlers in the world cricket bowl with a round arm action, many bowl with over arm action.. Malinga is one of the round arm bowler..

No malinga is not a chucker. the icc defines a chucker as someone who bends his arm more than 15 degrees while delivering the ball.If u observe malinga, his arm is straight while delivering.the only problem is for the umpire whose vision gets blocked. :)

well ther's more saying about his action which is more of the style of liberacy that creates a doubt in batsman mind....... but we r not to decide whether he is a chucker or not... it's the I.C.C.that's gonna decide his fate...

Malinga is not a chucker.. he has a round arm action.. a chucker is one who bends his elbow n bowls.. u should maybe get ur eyes checked.. if u think he bends his elbow.. anyways according to the new regulation by the ICC they are also allowing a certain degree of bending the elbow...

Hey dude...look for the cricket definition for "CHUCKING" Malinga is not a chucker. Its only about the action. Just lower and round arm.A chucker is one who bends his elbow when bowls! like 'harbajan sighn'; before sometimes back -- If you think Malinga bends its again sorry for you. Because, under new regulations ICC allowed that for some amount. Some are saying that Malinga is throwing. May be yes. But not chucking. If any body can't understand the different between throwing and chucking need to consider his education level a bit. -- You compare with harbajan sign. See the action of him, when the bowl left out on his hand. Anyway harbajan is a simple case.He is not a useful anymore. anyway.... its up to you for a nice day dream; since you have nothing to do. Have fun dude...!!!
