Lawson bowling report August 1

ST. JOHN’S: The West Indies Cricket Board are to submit a review of fast bowler Jermaine Lawson’s bowling action to the International Cricket Council by August 1, the board said yesterday. ICC match officials had reported the 21-year-old for a suspect bowling action during the fourth and final Test against Australia in Antigua in May. “Jermaine has been carrying along very well with the remedial programme in Jamaica,” said Michael Seepersaud, the regional board’s chief development officer, who is supervising the review process. “The back problems that set back the remedial work on his bowling action is now over, he’s free from pain, and substantial progress has been made to ensure his all’round biomechanical efficiency,” he added. Next week, the cricket board plan to fly in biomechanics specialist Dr Paul Hurrion from Britain to conduct an assessment of the way Lawson uses his elbow when bowling, the board said. 
        
“Dr Hurrion has worked in a similar capacity for the ICC with other bowlers and is highly recommended, so we are pleased to have him come and work with Jermaine,” Seepersaud said. “Once we have his analysis of Jermaine, we will convene the bowling committee and send our review to the ICC for their consideration.” Lawson has captured 29 wickets at 24.31 runs apiece in seven Tests. During the latest Test series against Australia, he distinguished himself with a hat-trick in the Third Test in Barbados and career-best figures of seven wickets for 78 runs in Antigua.
