Ishant Sharma, gentle giant no more
James Marsh, in All Out Cricket, writes about Ishant Sharma and his transformation into a fiery fast bowler in Sri Lanka
He bowled with both wit and warfare and finally imposed his imposing physique on opponents, towering over them menacingly during a number of altercations like a vituperative gargoyle rather than the harmless giraffe in a glamrock wig. It has been frankly quite exhilarating and his head-slapping celebration after dismissing Dinesh Chandimal in Sri Lanka's second innings in Colombo offered just the merest hint of deranged lunacy, no bad thing in any quick. Ishant is never going to be the most mellifluous of bowlers, so it's far better he tries to be André Nel rather than André Previn
