The gentle game of cricket

Hue, Vietnam
This has nothing to do with where I am or what I am doing really, just that with the annual ADWorld vs Ledger Lackademicals cricket match looming (it's the 14th game of an annual event started between a bunch of misfits and malcontents and has somehow persisted) there's been a fair bit of cricket 'noise on the wire'.

On the issue of sledging (supposedly witty 'banter' between batsman and fielding team) from a cricket related website I was perusing during one of the many torrential downpours that have been sweeping across Vietnam:

One guy we work with took sledging to the next level by shouting, as he was about to bowl:"Watch out Batsmen, Im sending a Seamer striaght into your fucking eye!" Still one of the funniest things I have heard!

Did make me erupt with laughter. Then I remembered last year when Honeychurch copped an errant bouncer and got his cheek bone broken. Sorry Churchy. Still, it is funny though.
