[Burgey]

I recall years and years ago playing in an invitation/ benefit match which one of our local umpires had organised against a Blue Mountains team up at Blackheath.

We were fiedling and this bloke was batting really well when this really thick fog rolled in. You could see from one end of the pitch to the other ok, but not to the boundaries, which were really small.

Anyway, a bloke comes in and bowls this ball and the fella batting absolutely smashed it in the direction of midwicket. I mean he tattoeed it - sounded like agun shot, and it was obvious to anyone who heard or saw the shot that it sailed about 40-50 metres over the deep midwicket fence.

Which didn't stop a mate of mine stationed at said deep midwicket yelling out "Howzat?!"

"What?"

"I caught it".

Genius.
