Rat cricketWhen i was in my mid-teens, i worked for a few weeks picking spuds on a farm. At the end of the day we loaded the spuds into a barn, and there were always a few rats in there. The Jack Russell's would corner them, my mate John with work gloves would gbrab one. Mike the farmer's son would stand in front of the stand pipe with a grain shovel.
Rat pitched under arm at stand pipe wicket, THUNG as shovel whacked rat for six.
Usualy the rats exploded into small pieces.
The Jack Russell terriers made excellent fielders when this happened.
