A Tipster forwarded us this report in website SLCricket that details how one of the greatest spin bowlers of all times is scared of computers
“ Sri Lanka's legendary spinner Muttiah Muralitharan is struggling to qualify to play English county cricket this year - because he is scared of computers and examinations.
A recent change in Britain's work visa rules means the world record holder must prove his English language skills at an examination to secure a permit to play for Gloucestershire in June.
"I have a visitor's visa (for Britain) till 2013, but I have to sit for an exam now to work there," he told reporters on Tuesday, adding he was scared to write his exams on a computer.
Asked if he was frightened of the computer or the exam, he said: "Both." “
