Murali scared of computer

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."
