Once he skied a ball to short mid-on and as he was running up the pitch, screamed "DROOPPPP IITTT! AGGGHHHH!" while waving his bat around. Our bloke dropped it. But Dickhead tripped over where the two mats met mid pitch and fell flat on his face and was run out.Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08789821484460689172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32024266.post-25773747989201534422007-10-31T02:54:00.000+00:002007-10-31T02:54:00.000+00:00I love these cricket stories.Another quick one, si...I love these cricket stories.<BR/><BR/>Another quick one, similar lines to J-Rods. A complete dickhead in the opposition (his own team hated him as well) top edged my bouncer into his forehead. The ball went up, he went down. He jumped up quickly (blood pissing out of a head cut) and said that he hadn't hit it (as he thought it had been caught). I said not to worry, as it had actually gone for 4 over the keeper's head .He immediately changed his tune and said he did hit it. The umpire (from his team) then promptly gave him out (as our keeper had caught it). Only guy not laughing was him. Bastards still beat us though.Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08864747766699243728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32024266.post-32288359856531464862007-10-31T01:21:00.000+00:002007-10-31T01:21:00.000+00:00My first 5 wicket haul in senior cricket was seale...My first 5 wicket haul in senior cricket was sealed with a full toss that was smashed into the head of the short leg, it went straight up in the air and the keeper took the catch.<BR/><BR/>When he woke up on the way to the hospital he asked if if we had got them all out yet. His girlfriend said yes, and he said turn the ambulance around i'm supposed to be opening.Jrodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02855673052242389414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32024266.post-65600056949756700292007-10-30T20:29:00.000+00:002007-10-30T20:29:00.000+00:00Love them!The really great part about cricket (par...Love them!<BR/><BR/>The really great part about cricket (particularly in the lower grades) is that we can relate to them the whole world over. The main character in my diaries is based around a similar individual to your captain - he would open the batting and bowling, and when he stopped bowling he would take over as wicketkeeper.<BR/><BR/>As for umpiring .....Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08864747766699243728noreply@blogger.com
