That is what I have discovered when reading the latest copy of Spin Magazine.
They have an article on a potential Indian Speed Machine.
Atul Sharma is the supposed javelin throwing bowling machine that sort of looks like the character whose muscles explode in the Animatrix.
He apparently bowls at quicker than 100 MPH, and is going to revolutionise cricket forever.
Rajasthan wanted the freak for nature for the IPL, even though he hadn’t bowled in a cricket game in over 6 years, and had never played any level of cricket worth a penny.
But Lalit and the Royals were a little worried his action was dodgy, being so revolutionary and odd.
So they sent him to the AIS in Australia.
There he was bio-mechanically tested, and then had to bowl to Saeed Ajmal’s mate Shane Watson.
Watson said his action was fine.
Greg Chappell did as well, although no one is sure if he was asked.
And then so did the bio nerds.
Sharma hasn’t played in the tournament yet, I think he was injured, not sure if he still is, he really needs his own website.
On the front page he could just have a picture of him and Watson hugging.
Showing the deep levels of Australian Indian love.
Interesting, I heard this from a close friend of mine now in the US . And i thought it was rubbish! But, coming from u, I need no more. Yes, he’s with the Rajasthan Royals upto my knowledge!
Read this ad recently “Want to get enrolled in the IPL? Play for one of the TOP teams? The Champs of IPL? Quick! cultivate a dodgy action, send us ur video. @ http://www.shettyroyals.com/dodgy” Looks like 3 guys hv already won ! Kamran Khan, Amit Singh, Atul Sharma!!

He is the hair on Bollinger’s head, there, but not really real…
