A Transylvanian bodyguard has become a cricket internet sensation due to his bowling technique, but stands by his unorthodox style.
A video of Pavel Florin playing in the European Cricket League for Cluj Cricket Club against France's Dreux on Tuesday has been watched hundreds of thousands of times on Twitter and garnered hundreds of comments.
"Maybe someone says my bowling is not beautiful or not effective but I don't care, because I love cricket," he told the European Cricket League.
Reaction on the social media platform varied from mickey-taking to support for Florin, a fitness fanatic who says he works as a bodyguard.
One user replied to a post by broadcaster @FoxCricket saying: "If that's the standard there may be a chance for me in the euro leagues.... Pies."
Another account was in more of a positive mood: "Good on em! Got 2 start somewhere!"
Former Australia batsman Mark Waugh responded: "I reckon that would be very hard to hit."
