It's called straighening of the arm as that is what is against the laws of the game. Bowling with a bent arm is 100% legal and always has been.
Lol... I meant legs as in legs of a triangle. Ha ha I understand how that may have been confusing.The flexing is at the elbow. Nowhere near the legs......

That's where Murali had a problem cuz not too many people know that you can in fact bend your arm and bowl as mentioned above.. and he had a bend in his arm as a result of a congenital defect apparently.. all this coupled with his 'rubber' wrist did give us one heck of an illusion.. And in a land where the Prime Minister publicly calls a bowler a chucker, its not at all surprising that Daryl Hair did that..
He's not a Test umpire, he only ever did one dayers- his first name is Ross btwandrew_nixon said:The first Aussie umpire to call Murali, Emerson (can't remember his first name) to this day still says that bowling with a bent arm is against the laws of the game. You have to wonder how he became a test umpire.
