RASHID KHAN BOWLING

I have been watching a few videos on Youtube trying to have a good look at how Rashid Khan goes about his bowling action. There are deliveries if you put them on slow motion you can see him bending his arm. Has anyone noticed this of is it just me. Obliviously he has been bowling in all these leagues and has been doing it with out been detected.

I think some of his deliveries are illegal especially, the wicket taking deliveries he clearly bends his arm, I will attach the link to the two videos below.

First link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enT75esBqAc

Second link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZh7Pf0x3fE

If you slow down the video , when he is bowling at around 11 minutes, there is a change in hand angle with the naked eye if looks way more than 15 degrees

Zim has been at the receiving end of these dodgy bowlers, I can clearly remember the Test Match aganist West indies when Shane Shillingford got 5 wickets in both innings and only to be banned from bowling a few test after that.


Interestingly there were others https://i.redd.it/oqs3jqarrh501.png

I dunno. The arm is bent all the way through the delivery. You can bowl with a bent arm. You are not supposed to straighten the arm. Or post Murali, not straighten by more than 15 degrees.

Have you got other links with more examples/angles?

I’m pretty sure it’s physically impossible to ‘chuck’ a leg spinner? You can definitely bowl with a bent arm, but as Jemisi said you can’t straighten it more than 15 degrees.

I’ve got my concerns on a few other bowlers, a few Indians, but we know the ICC will never call them.

I used to think Ashwin chucks, but his action is pretty clean. Bumrah's action too, while the ugliest I've seen, is actually perfectly legal. Which bowlers are you thinking of?

They’re the two

Bumrah’s action is odd because his elbow bends on itself, but it definitely straightens which gives him that extra bit of work on the ball I reckon.
