New Delhi: After demolishing Australia in the first test in Perth leading India to a huge 295-run victory Jasprit Bumrah was accused of having a supect action. However accusitions were rubbished by cricket experts by providing a crystal clear explanation of Jasprit Bumrahs unorthodox bowling action. Before the Boxing day Test match in Melbourne leader of Indias pace bowling unit has been targeted again for the doubtful bowling action. Australias experienced sports commentator Ian Maurice voiced his concerns over Bumrahs bowling action he also accused cricket authorities for not investigating pacers action due to fear of being called politcally incorrect. Why has no one questioned the delivery of India paceman Bumrah? Is it not politically correct these days? Im not saying hes throwing but at least the position of the arm at the point of delivery should be analyzed. Nine would have had it under the microscope some years ago.” Maurice rebounding from social media criticism over his remarks emphasized that he wasnt accusing Bumrah of misconduct but simply requesting a deeper insight into his behavior. Greg Chappell the ex-captain of the Australian cricket team has given a tactical analysis of Jasprit Bumrahs bowling style. He elucidated why it does not break any rules in the cricketing manual. You can see his arm straight from the wrist to elbow. The rule is when it is above the vertical that the elbow must not bend past 15 degrees Pont said. You can clearly see the forward flexion in his arm which is a hyperextension. This is allowed (a forward bend) for people with hyper-mobile joints. A hyperextension is a movement in a similar direction to the direction of movement - not downward or to the side. This is why Bumrahs action is classified as legal since it is within the guidelines of hypermobility.
