Was that sri lankan bowler with the big frizzy hair chucking or what?

while it is a "legal" action and delivery, I personally object to it on the grounds that the ball comes towards the batsmen as more of a "Side-arm", rather than "Over-arm" delivery.

ipu4u do you know what a side arem delivery is?? do you know how many bowlers use side arm?? a lot of them do.

Malinga is more of slinger, as is Tait. the rule dosent state that slinging is illegal. thus it is legal.

and not it is no where close to a baseball pitcher, a baseball pitcher uses his elbow, in cricket it is not legal to use your elbow.
