If losing his wallet and getting blown out wasn't enough,
he only had to go and spill claret all over Jersey's finest
cricket strip. After a couple of dropped catches, the boy
finally got well behind one and, yes, put it down again.
In the process the top of his middle finger flew off and
he was carted off to hospital. His involvement in the tour
was subsequently limited to drinking muckies. Nothing new
there then.

As a batsmen of some calibre, he's faced some fiery
bowling in his time. But nothing compared with the hostility
he was confronted with during this game. Coming in in the
middle order, Jnr had defended stoutly against everything
thrown at him - by the NINE-YEAR-OLD bowler. So when the
'paceman' lofted one up it was time to go on the attack
and stick the ball in cow corner. Instead, he top edged
it into his lip. A trip to hospital and several stitches
later, Jnr looked like he'd gone 10 rounds with Joe Bugner.
He's never been the same player since.

If ever there was a man who wanted to prove he bled
claret and black, it was this man. Batting on a minefield
of a wicket, he was virtually k.o'd by a ball that shot
up off a length and struck him on the temple. He was escorted
off the pitch to recuperate, with his legs virtually giving
way beneath him. In the meantime the Cavs innings was going
from bad to worse, with wickets tumbling at quite a rate.
Enter Bags to save the day. Despite the hazy head, he declared
himself fit for action and returned to the crease, where
upon he notched his highest Cavs total. Respect.
