Eyelids, a cricket with balls prophecy

I have been searching all my old posts and note books for information on Darren Pattinson.

I found this first, because I wanted to, it was written on the 23rd of April.

“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.”

I know.

I really am not an expert on him in real terms, (and some sort of cricket soothsayer), I have only seen him bowl maybe 5 times.

Which is 5 more times than anyone in the Sky commentary box from the sound of it, so I’m up on them.

I also found this,

"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."

Which is something.

During my year following the bushrangers, this is the most I ever mentioned him the lone bushrangers fan blog,

"This is the most I’ve seen of Darren Pattinson, and he worries me, not as a bowler, as a bowler I like him, but on the way in to the wicket he seems to almost close his eyes, I’m afraid he’ll do himself a mischief."

That is the day I crowned him Eyelids.

In conclusion, he is front on, quick enough, ex roof tiler, Dandenong boy, seams the ball, closes his eyes, takes wickets and is a Victorian.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, his inclusion is sure to piss off a bunch of English supporters and surprise a whole lot more.

So it’s a good inclusion for everyone.

Nashy just had this to say.
