[This guy](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5CsN7LwFi0) wasn’t a gymnast but a genuine international cricketer with 45 appearances for South Africa. His limbs go all over the place and his head ducks right forward out of the way of his bowling arm as it comes over, causing him to be likened to a “frog in a blender”. ETA: this [still](http://trialx.com/curetalk/wp-content/blogs.dir/7/files/2011/06/cricketers/Paul_Adams-3.jpg) probably captures it even better. ---
