NEW DELHI: There are bowling actions and there are strange bowling actions. And cricket has evolved through time with batsmen coming up with switch hits and innovative shots to continue the run flow.
And batting has evolved more than bowling so it was refreshing and pleasantly surprising to see a young bowler in
county cricket
with a strange and unique
bowling action
.
In a video by
Vitality County Championship
shared on X, the bowler named
Calvin Harrison
can be seen bowling leg-spin.
But what's strange is that he starts his run-up from the right of the umpire and then runs through between the umpire and the stumps like a left-arm spinner and then bowls a leg-break googly.
The South African-born English cricketer was signed for
Nottinghamshire
on a three-month contract in June 2021. He was bought by the
Manchester Originals
for the 2022 season of
The Hundred
in April 2022.
He made his Twenty20 debut on 10 September 2020, for Hampshire in the 2020 T20 Blast.
