The answer is "yes he does", but not with every delivery.
There can be no reasonable alternative view.
It's possible, however, that we may once again see a self-serving one from the ICC.

This was not intended to be aimed at Senanayake but at the whole problem of how in practice the question can be judged. I should have entitled this thread do THEY throw or not throw, they being any and all bowlers.

A piece on SKY showed Ian Ward getting an explanation of arm flex at the Perth UNI. The Woman explained that a bowler is allowed to bowl with a bent arm up 15 degrees but never the less cannot straighten it during delivery. That surprised me because I always understood that the flex limit was the the allowable straightening of the arm during delivery.
It seems that with every explanation the subject becomes more confusing.
