I agree. His action does not look sustainable to me. But neither did Malinga's. But as you say he used a lot of shoulder but Matheesha's action looks really wild at this stage. there is a lot of pressure on his back from my basic inspection.
I guess at a young age his body might be able to cope with the rigour of this action but I am not sure how he will cope in the long term
As for speeds how exactly are we judging it? Are the ICC live streams showing his speed? If not to the naked eye he does not look thaaat quick. I would guess he is near 140+
