Cricket exchange throwing is an illegal bowling action in the sport of cricket. It occurs when a bowler straightens his arm as he throws the ball. If the referee determines that the ball has been thrown, he will declare that there is no ball, meaning that the batsman cannot be dismissed from that delivery. The International Cricket Council (ICC) has set a limit of 15 degrees of elbow joint extension for all international cricket bowlers. The ICC regulations also set out minimum and maximum margin requirements for cricket exchange throwing.
The minimum margin requirement is that the bowler must not exceed 15 degrees of elbow joint extension when throwing the ball. This means that any bowler who exceeds this limit will be deemed to have thrown the ball and will be penalised accordingly. The maximum margin requirement is that the bowler must not exceed 20 degrees of elbow joint extension when throwing the ball. This means that any bowler who exceeds this limit will be deemed to have thrown the ball and will be penalised accordingly. It is important to note that these margin requirements are only applicable to international cricket bowlers. Domestic cricket bowlers may have different margin requirements, depending on the rules and regulations of their respective leagues. It is also important to note that these margin requirements are only applicable to cricket exchange throwing.
Other forms of bowling, such as spin bowling, may have different margin requirements.
