More work needed on Lawson’s action

ST JOHN’S: Remedial work on the bowling action of West Indies fast bowler Jermaine Lawson will continue after the submission of a report by a biomechanics expert from Britain.

Last month, the WICB flew biomechanics specialist, Dr Paul Hurrion, from Britain to conduct an assessment of the 21-year-old Lawson, who has been undergoing remedial work on his action after match officials formally reported him during  the Fourth and final Cable and Wireless Test between West Indies and Australia at the Antigua Recreation Ground last May. “Dr Hurrion concluded that though there has been substantial improvement to Jermaine’s action between the time he was reported and the assessment, there is still some work to be completed to satisfy Law 24 of the sport,” remarked Dr Michael Seepersaud, the WICB’s Chief Cricket Development Officer.
