What's cricket without pace bowling? Talk about pace. Sheer pace. Tymal Solomon Mills is your man if you're fan of fast bowling in a game that evokes acres of emotions in the blink of an eye. Not many heard, not many witnessed, not many acknowledged of what Mills was capable of. Not until he knocked the leg peg of Chris Gayle - the world boss - with a 93mph thunderbolt in a Natwest T20 game. Born in Tuddenham, a place that barely beams on the world map, Mills is now a millionaire. Yes, officially.
It was a touching story. It really is. The journey from being a raw, erratic bowler to earning a contract with one of the richest sport leagues going around. Tymal Mills didn't choose cricket. It's the other way around. Was introduced to the sport by a family friend when he was 13, and soon fell in love with bowling. He was an intimidating figure, of course, for his lethal pace during his grade cricket. Some lads just refused to play against him. What crime did Mills commit? Bowling pace at full-throttle.
