Parag skipped in from around the wicket in his only over of the match and let rip a side-arm delivery that even makes the action of former Sri Lankan speedster Lasith Malinga look normal.<\/p>\n
Former Australia opening batsman Michael Slater struggled to contain his laughter as he tried to make sense of Parag's action.<\/p>\n
"There's a tendency to bowl a round-arm, which is something completely different," Slater laughed on Fox Cricket's coverage.<\/p>\n
"He's bowled that at four foot five. That's almost underarm!"<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Revered Indian cricket journalist Harsha Bhogle added: "How low is legal round-arm?"<\/p>\n
Slater said: "I don't think I've ever seen anything like that before."<\/p>\n
Bhogle then reminded viewers of the infamous underarm incident that rocked Australian cricket, in which captain Greg Chappell told his brother Trevor to bowl underarm so New Zealand couldn't hit a six off the last ball of a 1981 one-day international to tie the match.<\/p>\n
"(The umpire's) just telling him, 'Just be careful. You can't go any lower than that. Underarm's not allowed anymore,' as the Aussies no very well," Bhogle said.<\/p>\n
The umpire behind the stumps was seen having a word with Parag during the over, likely reminding him of the laws.<\/p>\n
Parag dismissed Gayle on the second-last ball of his over when the master blaster holed out to Ben Stokes at long-on, although the youngster had bowled a normal delivery to dismiss him.<\/p>\n
