balls profile: Ishant Sharma

No cricketer has ever relied so heavily on their adam’s apple. Tall, skinny and odd looking, this young guy came along to wow the international world with his love for Jason Gillespie and his ability to bring out the wrong batting gloves. When on fire can bowl very full, swing the ball and get steepling bounce, when bowling badly he resembles someone running barefoot on ice throwing cream pies. Early on he tormented Ricky Ponting, but since then has mostly tormented Indian fans who can’t work out why he isn’t any better than he was 3 years ago. Has perhaps the most gormless face in modern cricket,

    My A/C repairman told me he played for India once. I took one look at his potbelly and hair told him to gtfo. So I decided to comb the archives of the greatest Cricket blog in the 21st century, and guess what? I found his profile written up by the Neville Cardus of our era Jrod Balls!

    So yeah, I guess I owe him an apology and a couple of hundred bucks for the crappy job he did fixing my A/C.
