I used to be a bit of everything really whenever I played at home. But primary forte was batting, usually in Afridi style. Wasn't a good fielder, only took about 3 catches in my entire life, and therefore in our five a side 5 overs each games my cousin always use to make me a wicket keeper, and that was because in the kind of cricket we played everybody hit down the ground, the ball would never go back, and hence mostly I had nothing to do.

My cousins didn't let me bowl that often, I had to fight and scream to get the ball, and when I did I bowled a mix very very slow deliveries, some seam up, some the other way round, basically whatever came out of the hand instinctly, and had no action what so ever, I reckon my arm must have bent by 25 degrees at least if not more. Although this was uninentional. Honestly.

Gash, I was poor. You don't want me in this team really. I'd be better off doing commentary.

ps: for reference link to the previous such discussion is as follows
