The eyes have it as paceman Pattinson focuses on glory at a rate of Notts

Darren Pattinson, also known as 'Eyelids', is strutting his stuff for Nottinghamshire - not a team in the IPL.

Eyelids was born in the UK, but was brought up in Victoria, Australia, which is why he is a s**t-hot fast bowler. His nickname comes from his approach to the wicket where his eyelids seem to flap around and it often looks as if he is coming in to bowl with his eyes closed.

He was mentioned to Notts by none other than the future PM himself, David Hussey. For the Notts faithful who visit this site, which would be thousands, I will illuminate Eyelids for you.

He is a chesty front-on sort of bowler, who can bowl into the 140 kms down-breeze on a windy day, and he seams the ball around a bit.

He doesn't look like a superstar, but the man gets wickets quite often, perhaps by making the batsman confused at the man running in with his eyes shut.

In his first game he ended with eight wickets against Kent, who from memory have no players of any real skill. But he did get Robert Key (who I think might once have played for England, but has been retired from all forms of cricket for the last few years, only to make a comeback to go out against Eyelids).

Eyelids also made a stoic 33, so this is a very good start for the man, who I presume will play for England within the next four months.

He also has a younger brother who is a bowling clone of Eyelids, who has really big wraps on him and who has already played for the Australian under whatever side, so probably can't play for England.

Such a shame, as from all reports the kid is a super freak.
