Among the many things that the action is being called is “frog in a blender 2.0”, based on the nickname that was given to Adams. However, Koththigoda has said that he never saw Adams bowl while growing up and took a look at his action only when comparisons were made. “From the beginning, I was bowling like this, and I never changed through under 13, 15, 17 and 19 cricket in Sri Lanka,” he is quoted as saying by The National. “In the beginning, I was playing with a tennis ball with my dad. From there I began to play cricket, and I have kept this action since,” he said.
