This amuses me far too much. I'm probably reading too much into it but I just love the idea of you setting yourself in the crease, watching the bowler coming in, thinking "right going to block this one", getting a nice straight bat up there and holding the pose, just as the bails go flying. "Ah, lovely" is what I like to imagine your response was right before you trudged off.Originally Posted by Old Manus
For the benefit of members partial to the great sport of cricket (both of them), witness a textbook forward defensive shot, and ignore the fact that I just got bowled and the bails are flying everywhere.
edit: I'm also amused by the fact that you're batting cack-handed, although I couldn't tell you why.
