"Do anything good for your birthday?" one of your friendly B3TA moderator team asked in one of those father/son phone calls that last two minutes. "Yep," he said, "Your mum." Tell us about dads, lack of dad and being a dad.

The one time my dad came to watch me play cricket at school
I bowled four wickets in one over, and caught out their last man with a panicky fluke that appeared to the crowd as my bending down and casually sticking out my right hand (I'm a Southpaw) to stop the ball hitting the floor.

He was well chuffed.

Yes, but...
Was it a maiden over as well?

Sadly not.
In panic, on the last ball the defendant lashed out wildly, tickling it to the slips, who, still stunned from my surgical dispatching of the previous four, allowed him to - in that great British tradition - slip one in.

Shame
Top effort, all the same.
