For it to be considered chucking the elbow has to be bent beyond the legally acceptable limits and then straightened. Whatever that is.

Hyperextension, the law looks at elbows not ball angles

If Bumrah was a premier West Indian fast bowler producing test match winning performances consistently he'd be told to remodel his action because of throwing the odd ball.

No!No! I’m just saying according to the laws and what I’ve observed there is absolutely no evidence of chucking from Bumrah.

Ow lord.. here we go again... another Bumrah pelting thread...

Why are people still debating this crap? If someone thinks that he is pelting then its clear that they know very little about this game.

So if your bowling arm rolls overs with a pause with a fling of the wrist for momentum and injection for extra pace, bite and forcing more lateral motive off the pitch that's what?

Bumrah's delivery action does not pass the eye-test on many occasions, the batters really have a challenge when they play against him.

Raggs I spoke at length with Mikey and asked him about this because I also felt he was pelting. Mikey told me that his action is just weird, but he’s not.

True…or you can simply ignore your lying eyes.

You can also ignore the notion that perhaps the cricket board that generates about 75 percent of the game’s revenue (and also created millionaire cricketers and commentators from other countries) has some influence over how the laws of the game are administered. Just perhaps—there again, it may just be the eyes.

And the fact that Michael Holding, who chaired the ICC committee that was appointed to rewrite the rules on pelting does not believe he is pelting is immaterial. I guess we believe what we want to believe. C’est la vie

Just go and test them bro... you definitely not seeing good. All the best... hope they could sort it out.

One man even bringing wrist into it now.. from elbow to wrist... first the hyper-extension now he's flicking his wrist to gain advantage....

2 Things
a. If the ball that hit down. Bravo at Sabina wasn't pelted then earth is flat!

Under testing Jermaine Lawson was never found to have pelted 1 single delivery but was forced to change his action....
Nuff said

Yea, Lawson had match winning bowling figures against Australia then got banned. A chink in his bowling action. I see a roach in Bumrah's action.

AI bline like rass too .... smile

Jasprit Bumrah's bowling action is characterized by a unique blend of power and precision, making him a formidable bowler. His action involves a short run-up, a braced front knee, a hyper-extended elbow, and a low, wristy release point. This combination allows him to generate significant pace and deceptive movement on the ball.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

1. Run-up and Jump: Bumrah employs a short, controlled run-up, often starting with a few walking steps to ensure balance and stability. His front-on approach, where his hips face the batsman at the jump, provides leverage for swing, particularly inwards.

2. Arm Action and Release: Bumrah's right arm is slightly past perpendicular at the point of delivery, which, combined with his hyper-extended elbow, allows him to release the ball further away from the crease. This action, coupled with his wrist action, generates high speed and deception. His release point is also slightly different, with the ball coming out of his hand at a 10:30 to 11 o'clock position, which can create extra movement on the ball.

3. Front Knee: Bumrah's braced front knee plays a crucial role in transferring the momentum from his run-up to the ball, maximizing efficiency and control.

4. Follow-through: Despite the high pace, Bumrah's follow-through resembles that of a spinner, suggesting excellent core strength and stability.

5. Deception and Skid: His low action often causes the ball to skid on, creating problems for batsmen, as seen in his dismissal of Faf du Plessis. The illusion of increased speed is further enhanced by his release point, reducing the ball's travel distance.
In essence, Bumrah's unique action is a product of his biomechanics, allowing him to generate pace and movement with a relatively shorter run-up, making him a challenging bowler to face.

Why would they not do as they did with Lawson? Call him, then test him and recommend he remodels his action?
Two possible reasons.
A. Either the rule changes puts him within the "flex limit" or suddenly umps naked eye vision has drastically eroded.
B. They dare not!

Even given the explanation of why his action is legit
he still pelts a few.
