Former Indian captain Bishan Singh Bedi has criticized the bowling game of a Uttar Pradesh (U.S.) under-23 cricket player. In a match against CK Nayudu U-23 between UP and Bengal recently, left-handed spinner Shiva Singh sparked controversy after launching a delivery with what can only be described as a weird bowling.
in Kalyani, when Shiva, who represented India at the Under-19 World Cup, took a 360-degree turn in his swing to throw a ball. Arbitrator Vinod Seshan immediately qualified this decision as a "dead ball", prompting UP team players to question the decision.
Bedi tweeted a delivery video on Thursday, calling Shiva "crazy" in his post.
Here is the tweet

Was the action of Shiva in the rules of the game? Here is what the Lord's Web site says in terms of law:
41.1 Fair and Unjust Game – Responsibility of Captains
Captains are responsible for ensuring that the game is unfolds in the spirit of Cricket, as described in the preamble – The spirit of cricket, as well as under the laws.
41.2 Fair and Unjust Game – Responsibility Arbitrators
Arbitrators are the only judges of fair and unjust play. If one of the referees considers that an action not governed by the Laws is unfair, he intervenes without appeal and, if the ball is in play, calls and signals the dead ball and implements the procedure described in Article 41.19. Elsewhere the referees must not interfere in the progression of the game without appeal, except in the cases provided for by law.
However, Shiva got the support of former England captain Michael Vaughan, who tweeted on Twitter.
Here is his tweet
I love it … We keep saying that bowlers must bring new innovations … No problem about it … # Itsa10fromLen https://t.co/OqFH09PDuL

So which side are you on? Bedi or Vaughan? Should bowlers be allowed to accept such freedoms, cricket becoming more and more a drummer's game? Or is such a 360-degree action simply unfair to a drummer?
