First report said bowling machine ...second report said a plastic slinger

They need to be used properly or they are dangerous

Sidearm. That’s what I’ve always called it.

To be fair they are only as dangerous as someone bowling at you if not less dangerous as skilful bowlers are capable of getting more swing or better hiding variations, but they are just far more convenient from a training perspective. The most dangerous thing you can really do in a cricketing sense is a bouncer and what’s stopping a bowling doing that during the game ala Sean Abbott to Phil Hughes.
