Chucker

[Dan]

Seriously I don't care what they say malinga throws the ball!

 

[The Eagle]

Malinga's arm comes around the side,his arm does not flex nor extend

A chuck needs the arm to extend,his arm is always at full extension during the bowling action

Tate chucks,his elbow does seem to extend during the bowling action

 

[Dan]

There were at least two balls where his arm went from bent to straight during the last part of his action. If it looks like a chuck it is a chuck

 

[The Eagle]

Well you got me there,i thought you were referring to his action in general

Legend has it he can do a bouncer off the sand

 

[Dan]

You can do amazing things when you throw the ball

My gf won't watch the cricket at the best of times but if he is bowling I have to turn it off.

She reckons its baseball when is bowling and as i don't watch that any other time I needn't start now.

Cracks me up every time.

I've never thought malinga's action was suspect. Unusual yes, but not a throw. Maybe the odd effort ball might get ugly but that happens to quite a few fast bowlers when searching for a bit extra. Courtney walsh was one, lee and tait have their moments too. I'd be more concerned with malinga's finger spinning countrymen.
