‘Mistah Klutz – he dead!’

…whereas my specialism…

…the klutzy, juggled drop in the deep from a skier…

…has no safe ways to fail.

The slips often err on the side of the ball dropping short. It’s a safer way to fail.

We’ll add an image and tweet that. Our feelings remain the same.

I liked the paragraph that started: “One moment you’re a pitiful klutz who let all your mates down and then, an instant later, you’re…”

…although it did remind me of the many times I have inadvertently parried and remained unsuccessful after one or more further attempts…

…in which case the quote might conclude: “confirmed as an even more pitiful klutz than your mates previously thought.”

One thing you didn’t mention in the article was how close those slips were standing because the pitch was dying and they were trying to increase the chances of the ball carrying. In many ways, it was that tactic that brought temporary klutzdom, redemption and then matress-replacement-duties the way of Zak Crawley.

It was a wonderful moment of the test match and I feel lucky and privileged that I got to see that wonderful last hour of the match on TV as it unfolded.
