Eyelids takes over Notts

I couldn't believe my eyes (no need for that pun).

Darren Pattinson, also know as eyelids, is strutting his stuff for Nottinghamshire, which is not a side in the IPL.

Eyelids was born in the UK, but was brought up in Victoria, hence why he is a sh1t hot fast bowler.

His nickname of eyelids comes from his approach to the wicket where his eyelids seem to flap around alot and it often looks as if he is coming in to bowl with his eyes closed.

He was mentioned to Notts by none other than the Future PM himself, David Hussey.

For the Notts faithful who visit this site, which would be thousands, I will illuminate eyelids for you.

He is a chesty front on sort of bowler, who can bowl into the 140's down breeze on a windy day and seams the ball around a bit.

He doesn't look like a superstar, but the man gets wickets quite often, perhaps by making the batsman confused at the man running in with his eyes shut.

First game ended with 8 wickets against Kent, who from memory have no players on any real skill, but he did get out Robert Key, who I think once might have played for England, but has been retired from all forms of cricket for the last few years, only to make a comeback to go out against Eyelids.

Eyelids also made a stoic 33 odd, so this is a very good start for the man, who i presume will play for England within the next 4 months.

Oh and Eyelids has a younger brother as well, who is a bowling clone of Eyelids, who has really big wraps on him and who has already played for the Australian under whatever side, so probably can't play for England.

Such a shame, as from all reports, the kid is a super freak.
