Bowlers who can bowl with both hands!
In modern day cricket,switch-hits and reverse sweeps and alog sweeps jave found their
way in the batting manual of most batsmen.In an age of innovation,it's fair enough to say
that over the years,cricket has produced some really unplayable bowlers who could win
any match almost single-handedly.However, in the following list,we'll see some bowlers
who take it up to a different level where they can bowl with both their hands.
(source:www.m.youtube.com)1.Akshay
Karnewar(India)
This Vidarbha lad was not only the most successful bowler for Vidharba in the current
season,but he had also drawn a lot of eyeballs for his bowling,which he can do with both
his hands.Generally,he is a ,"left-arm"spinner but he finds it pretty easy to change hands
which makes him a pretty handy customer.Now that's what is ambidextrous!
(source:www.dhakatribune.com)2.Hanif Mohammed (Pakistan)
Pakistan's first star cricketer Hanif Mohammed too could bowl using both his hands.He
was truly multi-talented as he had wicket-keeping as well as batting and bowling
skills.However, his bowling skills went up to a different level where he bowled using his
left arm in the match where another legend Sir Garfield Sobers famously scored 365.
(source:www.deccanchronicle.com)3.Kamindu Mendis(Sri
Lanka)
In the recently concluded U-19 World Cup in Bangladesh, the world saw a young bowler
display ambidextrous bowling.And quite fittingly, he picked up 3 for 36 against
Afghanistan and helped his side cruise to victory.Another good thing about this cricketer
is that he is just a young lad, who is serious about this skill of his and he has plenty of
time to master his skill in ambidextrous bowling. Let's see what the future holds for
Kamindu.
(source:www.espncricinfo.com)4.Graham Gooch(England)
In a list of cricketers having unique skills,it is almost a sin to not mention the
English.England's star all-rounder Graham Gooch too possessed the ability to bowl with
both his hands.However, as the world knows about his batting and right-arm medium
pace bowling,very few know about his left-arm bowling, which he did not display
frequently.
(source:www.espncricinfo.com)5.Hashan Tlllakaratne(Sri Lanka)
A veteran of 83 test matches and 200 ODI's for his country, the left-handed batsman
and right-arm off spinner,Hashan Tlllakaratne too had this ability to bowl using both his
hands.This was particularly seen in the 1996 World Cup match against Kenya where the
eventual champions had posted a mammoth score of 398 in the first innings.While
bowling the last over he used both his hands to bowl as the outcome was merely a
formality.
