UPDATE: BBL pace sensation Mohammad Hasnain has been reported for a suspected illegal action.
Hasnain has already returned home to Pakistan, meaning he will be tested at a facility in Lahore rather than Brisbane.
The express paceman, who has had a delivery timed at 155.1 km/h, snared seven wickets at 15.71 for the Thunder.
“The league thanks Hasnain, the Thunder and the PCB for their cooperation in this matter.”
Stump microphones picked up Sydney Sixers skipper Moises Henriques telling Hasnain “nice throw mate” after 21-year-old quick bowled a bouncer in the rivals’ recent derby.

"clearly"? Can you apply a protractor to the TV screen?

Yep. I said the same thing when almost everyone else was gushing over him. Hope he can fix it.

How did you determine it was less than 15 degrees? The side on view I saw certainly looked suspect, but ultimately only the testers can determine whether it is legal or not - not a 2D view of a video.

Yes they did, the umpires are the ones who reported it! Umpires are not allowed to call no balls for throwing during a game now, only report it after the game, which they did.

It did look very... slingy in the games I saw him play.

The umpires were apparently the ones that reported him (in his first game against Adelaide), per ESPNCricinfo.

They've shown side-on views of his action, and although he bends it a bit it's clearly less than the 15 degree mark.

It takes a fair bit to rattle Moises cage but don't poke the bear .

Storm in a tea cup. The umpire didn’t seem to have a problem with the bowling action.

I thought his action looked suss the first time I saw him bowl. Clearly I'm not alone with this.
