Cricket - illegal bowling actions

[bldysabba]

@truthSeeker2

In our part of the world, throwing is called *bhatta *bowling. When we used to play tennis ball cricket, if *bhatta *bowling was allowed, you could bowl bhatta-slow but not *bhatta-*fast. The bowler would announce before bowling, like say ‘right arm over the wicket bhatta’ . When one got out to *bhatta *bowling, there was often an argument whether the ball was fast (hence a no-ball) or not.

Ha yes. I’d forgotten about that. I’ve only heard that in Delhi though.
