A story about the kids cricket team I played for at school... I played for the 4th division team in taranaki, nz, one of our matches turned out to be with the best girls school from the girl's division.We were quite relaxed about it all, no pressure, girls after all..., until the girls produced a decent score and destroyed us with great fielding..7 wickets down and 100 odd runs to get our captain (age 15 years) was pondering about our options when one of his friends from the school's 2nd eleven team happened to be walking along the ground. We discreetly sent him as our 10th batsman. All was well until he started hitting sixes all around the park ... which unfortunately was too good for our team standard. After a few sixes one of the girls pointed out the batsman didn't field for our team! despite our protests the umpires forced us to forfeit the match! Best match I've played in! Hope you guys have a laugh over this one, cheers dudes
