Thanks for that. How did you end up here, by the way? Were you looking for pictures of dead foxes with cricket bats?

You know the one.

They look like remarkably tall stumps if you put them in relation to where the knee-roll on the batsman’s pad is, and the wicketkeepers pads.

Jesus, Hawkeye would have even the shortest pitched of bouncers clipping the bails on those pillars.

Just look at the gap between bat and pad. How does he expect to keep anything out like that?

And, what proportion of the fox community is left handed?
