Steve James, writing in the Daily Telegraph, relives the - rather hilarious - experience of having the ball come crashing through the window of the room where he was commentating during a Glamorgan game in Taunton.
...So as the ball was making its unerring way towards us, with [Edward] Bevan becoming more and more anxious as he described its path, I decided it was time to duck. The thought of glass flying into my face was too much to bear. Bevan also decided to turn his back, but obviously a little later. Listen to the clip and the sound of breaking glass is simply comic. Just writing this now I am struggling to contain my giggles.
