In cricket we get so many mystery balls now-a-days. Earlier especially spinner’ predominantly content with either leg break or off-break. Now they have various varieties on how the ball is delivered.
When Ajantha Menidis came into international cricket, Indians were sweeping the pitch with their bat, later they picked him up and dispatched him to Moratuwa. Similar story for Malinga, as of now even in low scoring matches he concedes close to 6-runs/overs ( Last match Indvs SL 58/runs-10 ). When the other batsmen are trying to find-out how to face Malinga, Indians are shooing his deliveries to boundary.
As a pure fiction let’s try some mystery deliveries,
- Instead of holding the ball in his hand, Malinga can hide the ball in his head (in-between his hair). The problem is his greyish-yellow hair, maybe he should apply red.
- Another trick for the bowlers is to keep the cricket ball inside their pant pocket and while they enter into the delivery stride they can take it out and bowl.
- I read somewhere that Afghanisthan Cricket team is practicing a new type of ball delivery, it’s called “dot ball”. The bowler balances the ball on his index finger and bowls.
