4) Harsha Bhogle and Matthew Hayden in commentary and Hayden talks about Chris Harris. Harsha immediately said we have a native Chris Harris type bowler - Rajat Bhatia, and added
"He is slow, but has a slower ball on top of that. That ball is so slow that the batsman receiving it won't figure out if it was the previous ball"
