Addendum

I mentioned the opposition's Witless Cricketer's Almanack. It contains this marvelous paragraph in a match report. The team decided to warm up for a fixture with a game of Dodgeball.

'Witness poor T----- H------, emcee for Saturday's nuptials, when Crushy unleashed a thunderbolt bearing straight for the Reverend's own wedding tackle. Like any right-thinking fellow, his instinctive reaction was to minimize the relative velocity of impact between the inbound projective and his gentles. Alas, by the principle of conservation of momentum, back went the arse; ergo forward went the torso. Net result: a planar three-point landing (gonads, chest and schnozzle) and a sound resembling the crack of a gunshot....the undercard complete with just one (subsequent) hospitalisation, off we all merrily trots to begin the main event of the weekend.'

And to think people complain about the national team playing football to warm up.
