Len’s Top Tens #7
.
Top Ten Yorkshire fielding errors during 20/20 games (so far)
.
- Matthew Hoggard – Forgot to run after ball as “Mi’dogs normally do that for’uz”
- Tim Bresnan – Sent to naughty step by umpire after getting kit-kat chocolate all over the white ball.
- Adil Rashid – Failed to cut off boundary whilst moonwalking to impress cheerleaders.
- Andy Gale & Tim Bresnan – Bisected by ball whilst arguing whether Mr Benn had ever dressed as a pirate. (He had)
- Simon Guy – Fielded at Old Trafford with eyes closed as he was recording the match on Sky+ and didn’t want to know the result.
- Richard Pyrah – Let Gough chase the ball as “He was 40 yards closer”. Batsmen eventually completed all run seven.
- Darren Gough – Placed two men in Rugby Stand after mistaking boundary rope for 30 yard fielding circle
- Jaques Rudolph – Let ball through legs whilst joining in with Mexican wave.
- Mags – Wore Man Utd top whilst fielding in front of Western Terraces.
- Gerard Brophy – Moved spare fielding helmet to extra cover and placed Michael Vaughan three yards behind him (this may not have been an error)
On a day when England’s batting has looked frailer than Durham’s on a really really frail batting day and there’s an ominous feeling of imminent bowling of pies – your piece has lightened the Stygian gloom. Ta.
PS did the moondancing work?
May I just say that number five has caused excessive spurtage of my mid-afternoon cuppa?
Brilliant stuff. My favourite top ten so far.
