Dean Jones gets trolled for comparing Hardik Pandya to Michael Holding

Former Australian cricketer and commentator Dean Jones is not a part of the commentary team for the ongoing ODI series between India and Australia. However, that has not kept the former cricketer away from being closely associated with the game. He is following the series up and close. Jones has been tweeting updates about the series on a fairly consistent basis. While most of his analytical tweets have fetched good responses from the fans on the social media, the most recent update saw him getting brutally trolled. In an update on micro blogging site Twitter, Dean Jones remarked that the bowling action of Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya resembles a great deal to that of legendary former West Indies pace bowler Michael Holding. He asked the fans if his observation is correct or not. He also added the fact that the speeds of the two bowlers is obviously very different but the topic under observation here is the bowling action. Much to his amusement, he received some seriously trolling comments. “Does anyone think that @hardikpandya7 bowling action similar to Michael Holding? Obviously speed is different,but similar,” Dean Jones asked in a Tweet. Does anyone think that @hardikpandya7 bowling action similar to Michael Holding? Obviously speed is different,but similar @StarSportsIndia — Dean Jones (@ProfDeano) September 24, 2017 The fans started trolling him rightaway. They mocked him asking if he is high on dope. Many fans asked him the kind of stuff that he has been smoking. Well, the comments went from being hilarious to seriously offensive. A few fans even tried analysing the observation and felt that the actions of Hardik Pandya and Michael Holding are nowhere close. The former Australian cricketer did not respond back to the comments and had his observations made once and for all. He certainly did not expect himself to be trolled for making such observations. For the stats, Hardik Pandya has been the breakthrough player for India in the series thus far with two Player of the Match awards to his name in 3 matches. Here is how the fans reacted to his tweet: You are an authority Deano but I beg to differ — Sarmad Qureshi (@SarmadQureshi) September 24, 2017 What you been smoking? — Matt Elsdon (@mattelsdon79) September 24, 2017 Deano what are you smoking these days? Must be some very good stuff that you are thinking like this — Majid Arab (@MajidArab7) September 24, 2017 Well all Indians would agree for sure but honestly there is no similarity if only neutrals are asked this question — Sarmad Qureshi (@SarmadQureshi) September 24, 2017 R u nuts? @hardikpandya7 can't even hold/grip the ball like the legend #MichaelHolding. Stop smoking weed while tweeting. — Mukesh Singh (@mukesh_twitts) September 26, 2017 No please.Don't compare kids to legends. — Sanjay Nair (@sanjayadcb) September 25, 2017 Are you high ? — Abhi (@Abhinuts) September 24, 2017 well that more looks like u had a hard try for sarcasm this time, but i suggest u better look the videos of both once again!! — SyedHammadAhmedZaidi (@hammadahmedzaid) September 24, 2017 I think mohammad Aamir action is similar with Bradshaw but I guess you don't remember him — Dipesh Yadav??
