The Carrom Ball

I've just come across this which is interesting - a bloke called Ajantha Mendis who plays for Sri Lanka bowls a new variation called the Carrom Ball and I've found some links -

At the bottom of the page there's more links. I'll have a look at this myself at some point and try it out? At the minute though I haven't got a clue what they're talking about with regards holding and flicking the ball - but I'll have a look.
