well i heard some funny news
the officials are congregating as they cannot decide how to classify Ajantha Mendis as he bowls leg breaks, off breaks, doosra's, wronguns, flippers and arm balls (and more) with the seemingly same action
they either have to come up with something new, or give him a vague name which doesn't describe him properly
what should he be classified as?
come up with a name for him!

classifying them as just "slow" is like darren lehmanns bowling

Does he have a stock ball or not?
|
|
|
Post by nickmclachlan on May 4, 2008 19:36:24 GMT 10
i think his stock ball is an offie, but im pretty sure he mixes it up every ball
|
|
|
Post by ::Richo:: on May 4, 2008 19:55:33 GMT 10
well then call him an offspinner
|
|
|
Post by nickmclachlan on May 4, 2008 20:06:18 GMT 10
but he can bowl leggies
|
|
|
Post by TC Ink on May 4, 2008 20:08:05 GMT 10
I can bowl leggies as well, and offies, so should I be classified as that as well as a Med-Fast Pace Bowler?
|

yeh but you dont bowl them in a match, and you're not of international standard. yet

Post by ::Richo:: on May 4, 2008 20:12:33 GMT 10
wats his stock delivery?
|
|
|
Post by nickmclachlan on May 4, 2008 20:13:33 GMT 10
he doesnt really have one, he can bowl both, no-one has done this before this is where the dilemma comes in
|
|
|
Post by ::Richo:: on May 4, 2008 20:14:41 GMT 10
well surely he has a natural action and has a stock delivery
|
|
|
Post by nickmclachlan on May 4, 2008 20:17:45 GMT 10
he runs in like a meds bowler and releases it unlike an offie or a leggie, and boths both variations with little changes in his wrists
|
|
|
Post by ::Richo:: on May 4, 2008 20:24:46 GMT 10
well just call him a freak and lets be done with it
