Pavel Florin’s Bowling Action:- Romanian cricketer, Pavel Florin took the internet by storm due to his unusual bowling action in the European T10 Cricket League during the match between Dreux Cricket Club and Florin’s team Cluj Cricket Club. The bowler was seen bowling with a one armed action, which a lot of the fans found really funny. With a short run-up, Pavel flighted the ball, well above the batman’s eye-line and pitched the ball right up.
His insipid bowling forced the batsman to wait for an eternity before the ball arrived in their radar. Social media was left in splits over the incident. Some Indians even ended up comparing him with Ravichandran Ashwin who seems to experiment a lot in his bowling lately.
Ladies and gentlemen … welcome to the #EuropeanCricketLeague

The action even caught the eye of former Australian cricketer Mark Waugh. “I reckon that would be very hard to hit,” he tweeted.
I reckon I’ve seen 5 clear knock backs in the Newc/tigers game given as knock ons. Absolutely ridiculous. Let’s just change the rule as soon as you drop the ball the opposition get it.

Seeing the reaction of the people, 40 years old Florin said he doesn’t care about what people had to say about his action and that he loved cricket. ” Maybe someone says my bowling is not beautiful or not effective but I don’t care, because I love cricket.” He said in an interview.
