Is the ball coming out of his hand?

You know the game is on when Kieron Pollard decides to fiddle with the batsman. He runs in with the red cherry, err (no Test caps), white cherry in hand, makes the final jump to deliver and the ball vanishes! No, he hasn't delivered it. How often has he done this?

Imagine Eoin Morgan or Jos Buttler pre-meditating the lap shot and waiting for the ball that never arrives. Pollard is one funny guy. He doesn't mind running in yet another time to deliver(?) the same ball again. It could be one reason why he isn't in the Test team. He could run in all day without bowling a ball!
