No one has got more famous for inventing ball that pretty much goes straight. Before being worked out he was the most dangerous bowler in world cricket. Now he is Chris Harris, without the impressive hair. Bowls faster than most spin bowlers, and has never really mastered flight. Anyone who can control as many deliveries as he can should surely be able to adapt. If not, he should go to County cricket and be the first bowler to take One Million first class wickets. Is a second lieutenant in the Sri Lankan Army, in second life he sells sneakers to movie stars and on world of warcraft his avatar is a Tauren druid named Carrom.
cricket with balls
just another bullshit cricket blog
Haha…”Chris Harris, without the hair”…Classic
Call me a stickler but it’s Ajantha and not Ajathna.
He didn’t invent the ball you fool. It was originally bowled by Jack Iverson in the 1950s…
Sam, He did actually invent the carrom ball, Iverson’s was almost the exact same but it actually spun, so it couldn’t have been the carrom ball. He also never called it the carrom ball, he gave it no name at all. Mendis named it, thusly inventing the carrom ball the same way saqlain had invented the doosra that had been bowled in the 60s by a shit Australian reserve batsman.
Can’t wait to see him bowl in australian conditions.
He may suprise me and average under 100 per wicket but I doubt it, after all, even Murali struggled on australian decks averaging about 70 odd from memory.
Who is this shit Australian reserve batsman?
You have forgotten the real deal when it comes to bowling the straight one. The epitome of coolness, the ultimate badass, the Atlas. He Who Did Not Give A Shit About A Broken Jaw And Kept Bowling.
