What are people opinions on the big guy I see matimbers (i think) has him as his avatar. "The beefy spinner has been besieged by the media since bounding into prominence with his jaunty celebrations in the World Cup warm-up match against England on Monday. They were reminiscent of scenes from an Eddie Murphy costume comedy. Remember The Nutty Professor? Some crafty left-arm spin accounted for two of England's premier batsmen - Kevin Pietersen and Paul Collingwood - in St Vincent, but inevitably it is Leverock's imposing 20-stone frame that the TV cameras have focused on." I think hes great lol
He is superb, my roll model, living the dream of playing in the world cup fror his chosen sport and enjoying himself at the same time! When I watched the game the other day, I was actually impressed with the way he bowled and I reckon his size actually helps him as his centre of gravity is different to others (for an obvious reasons) and allows for a more fluid action. It has been shown that darts players with big bellies have a more fluid action due to their balance being different. And Robert Croft must be pleased as well as he is no longer the fattest spinner in cricket! Monty better get on those pies out there
Can't be much use with the bat though, although i suppose bowlers will struggle to find the wicket! In all seriousness though, he's achieved his dream and getting himself a bit of fame whilst he's at it, probably even become a cult hero. Fair play to the fellow!
