No, of course there isn’t. Think of Walter in The Big Lebowski. “You see what happens, Larry? You see what happens?” Incidentally, here’s a surreally sanitised version of that scene, featuring the lines: “You see what happens when you fight a stranger in the Alps” and: “This is what happens when you feed a stranger scrambled eggs.”
Anyway, Darron Reekers taps into this universally appealing modus operandi. He’s about 20 foot 11, a bit fat, and every now and again he ‘has a go’. With his first shot of any purpose against England, he holed out. Or at least he should have done. He took his eyes off the ball, got in a terrible tangle and spazzed the ball vertically. For six.
The man has power to spare. That power comes from his girth.
