ICC appoints Portus to analyse Harbhajan's action
22.30 IST   18th May 2005

By Agencies

The International Cricket Council has appointed Marc Portus to undertake initial biomechanical analysis of Harbhajan Singh's bowling action.

Portus will review all relevant match and biomechanical footage as well as any other relevant information on Harbhajan whose action was reported for the second time in three months in March this year.

The Australian Institute of Sport biomechanist was likely to take two weeks time to complete the project, an ICC statement said in London today.

Portus would have to determine if there was a change in the action used by the Indian off-spinner by comparing the previous biomechanical analyses of his action with the action used during the Test that prompted the latest report from the match officials.

ICC Chief Executive Malcolm Speed said that the ready availability of footage of Harbhajan's action from previous bio-mechanical analyses in both England and Australia as well as recent match footage provided Portus with the ability to start his investigation by reviewing the existing material on the bowler's action.
