As the COVID-19 outbreak struck Brisbane Heat in the ongoing season of the Big Bash League, they were forced to make a few changes to their side for the game against Hobart Hurricanes on Saturday. The situation meant that Paddy Dooley, a bowler from Queensland Premier Cricket, had a dramatic last few days.

From being on holiday in the Yarra Valley, he drove to Geelong and took a flight to Brisbane as he eventually found himself making his debut for Heat. And while he had a fairly impressive outing, it was his unorthodox action which became the major talking point.

Defending a target of 145, Heat's captain Tom Cooper handed the ball to Paddy Dooley in the first over itself. And this is when the left-arm spinner produced his wind-mill action! He rolled his arm around a couple of times before eventually releasing the ball which made it extremely funny to watch for the viewers.

Although his bowling action was very unique and different in its own way, it did share a slight resemblance to someone from a Bollywood movie. In the 2001 film Lagaan, a character named Goli used to deliver the ball in a very similar way.

Although he used to take things to a whole different level by rolling his arm quite a few times, one cannot really ignore that Dooley's uncanny action did have a glimpse of Goli.

Although the left-arm spinner was unlucky on the day with a catch being dropped off his bowling, Paddy Dooley ended with impressive figures of 4-0-25-0 as Hobart Hurricanes went on to win the match by 8 wickets.
