Why is Malinga's action legal?
In the modern game, the Sri Lankan pace bowler Lasith Malinga has a very distinctive action which is authentic roundarm, earning him the name "Slinga Malinga". There are some who question the legality of this action, but it is legal, because his arm does not straighten from a bent position as he bowls.
His action is entirely legal and in fact well within the specifications of the ICC regarding the angle allowed at the elbow (basically how much a bowler can bend his arm).
It is actually pretty goddamn straight compared to a lot, so his action is perfectly within the laws. The vertical angle down to the arm does not matter, many people have bowled with similarly slingy actions (Tait, Jeff Thompson...), Malinga is a little bit slingyer, but still not a throw.
The Laws of Cricket now (2000 Code) declare that an underarm delivery is illegal unless otherwise agreed before the match. A delivery is a no-ball if it bounces more than twice before passing the popping crease: an underarm delivery cannot be performed rolling along the ground.
Malinga's action comes under second category i.e roundarm. He's elbow is always within the legal specified angles. He never chucks. Chucking occurs when a bowler straightens their arm while delivering the ball.
The ICC tweaked its laws of the game in 2005, allowing the extent of the arm's straightening to be 15 degrees, rendering Muralitharan's action legitimate, after an investigation revealed that the vast majority of bowlers active in cricket at the time were also bowling with an illegal amount of flex.
Chucking in cricket is an illegal bowling action where a bowler bends his arm while delivering a ball. As per the rule books in cricket: “the rotation of the shoulder is compulsory to impart the required velocity on the ball.
As said before, a hyperextension is a movement in the similar direction to the direction of movement – not downward or to the side. This is why Bumrah's action is classified as legal since it is within the guidelines of hypermobility,” explained Pont.

Holder's rare feat saw him join an exclusive club featuring Lasith Malinga, Rashid Khan and Curtis Campher. They are the only other bowlers in men's cricket to claim four wickets in four balls in T20Is.
The ICC changed it to two bouncers per over in 1994, with a two-run no-ball penalty (rather than one-run no-ball) if the bowler exceeded two bouncers an over. One Day International cricket allowed one bouncer per over in 2001 (and a one-run no-ball in case a bowler exceeded the limit).
Minimum Number of Overs
On each day of play, the fielding side/s must together bowl a minimum of 90 overs. If the scheduled end of play occurs before 90 overs are bowled on a given day, play is extended until 90 overs are completed.
A batsman may be out stumped off a wide delivery but cannot be stumped off a no ball as bowler is credited for the wicket. Notes: The popping crease is defined as the back edge of the crease marking (i.e. the edge closer to the wicket.
Certainly legal to bowl from behind the crease.
Jasprit Bumrah is seen hitting the stumps while bowling, wait for it, left-handed during a training session. Jasprit Bumrah is known for his pinpoint yorkers and variations that keep batters on their toes.

However, due to a birth deformity, Muralitharan can't straighten his arm fully, causing him to bowl with a bent arm action and creating that 'optical illusion'. People then say, “doesn't the testing show that Muralitharan chucks as he straighten his arm by 15 degrees?”
In fact, Muralitharan had recently tipped Ashwin to break his record of 800 Test wickets. “Ashwin has a chance because he is a great bowler. Other than that, I don't think any younger bowler coming in will go to 800. Maybe Nathan Lyon is not good enough to reach it.
Was Muralitharan a chucker Quora?
Having said that, without taking anything away from the great man, he had a slight deformity in his right arm, especially around the elbow. This forced him to bend his elbow slightly while bowling, at times beyond the permissible limit of 15 degrees. Going strictly by the rule books, yes, he 'chucked'.
An Illegal Bowling Action is where a player is throwing rather than bowling the ball. This is defined by the ICC as being where the player's elbow extends by an amount of more than 15 degrees between their arm reaching the horizontal and the ball being released.
Therefore, the number of overs bowlers can bowl is not limited. In shorter versions of cricket, where the length of a batting innings is predetermined, bowlers also have a limit on the number of overs they can bowl.

It was in 1999 that Akhtar was banned by ICC for a month for chucking before returning with a remodelled action. “Shoaib knows he used to jerk his elbow; he knew he was chucking too.
