| The West-Indies duo have previously been disciplined for the same discrepancy. |
The limit of 15 degrees was believed to be exceeded by on-field Umpires Richard Kettleborough and Nigel Llong who have reported the incident to the governing body of world cricket.
Previous cases of questionable deliveries have led to much controversy and both of these bowlers have previously been queried regarding their irregular actions.
Shillingford claimed 5-179 in India's first and only innings and was first reported for this indiscipline whilst making his Test debut in 2010 and was banned for a month after his average elbow extension was believed to reach 17 degrees.
The more experienced Samuel made his debut ten years earlier and was banned it 2008, but he did not resume bowling in international cricket until September 2011.
The Jamaican-born all-rounder also served a two-year suspension from cricket between 2008 and 2010 for supplying information to a bookmaker.
The prior investigations led to both men being suspended from bowling in international cricket and they were only allowed to return to spin bowling after undergoing remedial work.
Muttiah Muralitharan, Lasith Malinga and Harbahjan Singh have all previously been questioned and indeed cleared over their irregular actions, with all men experiencing great success from their very individual styles.
The former is the leading wicket taker in Test match history with 800 wickets from just 133 games and Singh has claimed 413 victims for India.
Of all recent cases, Malinga's low and 'slingy' action best demonstrates the issue with exceeding permitted angles, which caused Kettleborugh and Llong to report the Caribbean duo.
The pair are permitted to continue bowling, but must undergo analysis by 7th December, or they will face further retribution.
