Untitled[edit]

There is a You Tube clip showing the Projapoti being bowled: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMyAkM5M-J4 here it is referred to by Ian Pont, one of the creators, as Projapoti "Butterfly". It seems that Projapoti means "Butterfly" in English, as Doosra means 'the other one'. The name of Projapoti was given I have read to reflect the Bangladesh heritage of the delivery and the fact it was created for the Bengali speaking fast bowlers who call it the Projapoti. In the same way Cul-de-Sac is used in language in English, you would not say "bottom of the bag" (literal translation) when referring to a road that has no way out. Projapoti therefore is a genuine title for this creation, which has been given a Butterfly 'handle' so the English media can understand what it is meant to look like in flight.

I did not create the original page for Projapoti, but do regularly visit Bangla cricket web sites that refer to the Projapoti and it is the newest slower delivery to be introduced to world cricket. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ecbsux (talk • contribs) 08:44, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
