Is Jasprit Bumrah a chucker?

[Wanna_Be_AB]

For me Bumrah is the greatest bowler India has ever produced & the most entertaining bowler to watch since Steyn retired. But there are always some comments on JB's videos and shorts on YT that he chucks. Are they right or just jealous of him?

They're just dumb and don't understand what chucking is. Same stupid **** used to happen to Malinga.

 

[Prince EWS]

If anything Bumrah is the opposite of a chucker - the flex is negative.

Is pic 2 "above the vertical"?

 

[LangleyburyCCPlayer]

Every time I see Bumrah’s action in stills like that I just think that can’t be healthy!

 

[TheJediBrah]

must be a chucker IMO. Ban him

I don't think he's a chucker, but just in case he should definietely be banned for one test, effective immediately

Imran GOAT.

Bumrah isn't a chucker he just has a horribly ugly action.

Define ugly.

Imran GOAT.

Imran was an awesome bowler.

What about Waqar Younis....55 wickets from only 12 innings. A seriously seriously good bowler. Was world class. Him and Akram....one of the greatest fast bowling partnerships i think. I'd had to face them.

Define ugly.

When you apply it to Bumrah it's about 24 degrees
28 degrees for Ravi-chuk-dran Ashwin

I know what a throw is. But these guys with weird amounts of flex in their arms look odd, and moreover seem to take more wickets than people with the classic ‘straight arm’ action.
Bumrah’s ‘run up’ is mostly a walk, a couple of hops, and then an awful lot of speed generated by his interesting action.
The leader of the pack in the ‘flex’ department was Murali. Apparently he had a deformity and couldn’t straighten his arm, so therefore whatever he was doing was all well and good apparently. Well that seemed to be the prevailing view, and the one the ICC went with. Another view would be that if you have a deformity and can’t get your arm to conform to the laws of cricket then that’s really unfortunate but you can’t play: the rules are the rules.
