thickies school indoor cricket :)
Because I was more academically gifted over the "sports only" group, I was placed in the sports for the slower kids segment which 90% of the time was designated indoors. There were a few of us who were quite able to play footie etc though, so it wasn't so bad really.

One particular week, we had indoor cricket with a tennis ball. 6 if you hit the back wall without bouncing, 4 if it bounces, 1 run for every time you hit the ball. Our team are 15 runs away from winning, and I'm last in batting. I think "Sod this energy malarky" and proceed to block every single bowl which comes towards me. The fielders work this out, and all huddle up in front of me, literally about 3 foot away in a line, hoping for the catch-out. It's at this time where I decide to change tactics slightly, and I twatted the next bowl as hard as I could (I almost threw the bat with it).

A guy called Sian was the closest, and managed to catch the tennis ball with his bollocks. For a second. Before he dropped the ball, and rolled across the floor vomiting.

I was not-out, and won for teh lads as everyone backed off after that :D
