    Well, maybe not - but I enjoyed this video, especially the reaction of the fielders!

    The Guardian did a follow up on the legendary batsman featured in the video.

    He seems like a sound bloke, taking his infamy in good spirits
    "Ask any club member, people leave the bar to watch me bat. I don't deliberately try to be bad or do comical things – they just follow me around. Falling over is a speciality – once an innings at least. But this was the first time I've ever hit wicket. I'm quite renowned for backing away to square leg and squealing if there is a faster bowler.

    "The highlight of my 'career' was probably my first 50 – against 10 men – when the whole of the club invaded the pitch to congratulate me. I was 40 at the time. It was like Tendulkar in India. I just love my cricket – despite being so bad at it."

    an now Im pissed off. This guy has got a more than one career 50 :mad::mad: God dammit Im stuck with a High score of 47 and I can certainly bat better than him.

    My only consolation is that I did have an infantisimal average in Div 5 this season from 3 innings :D:D
