...that cricket was actually a full-contact sport! Cheers to Mr. Symonds:

That's nothing. Read up on something called "fast leg theory" and you'll realise that, while not a contact sport, cricket can be pretty bruising.

Per the OP, it's about time one of those jokers got flattened - they may get a few jeers, but they hold up play.

Cricket full contact? What happened? Some one go nuts and start hitting people with those mallets?

No, really! This guy was a rugby man, and when a streaker came on the field, the cricketer flattened him with a shoulder check! If we can see that sort of thing in cricket consistently, we could sell it here!

I'm glad this idiot got flattened. Honestly...

Well, I suppose better to be flattened by a sholder then a mallet

Honestly, I think cricket is too complicated for the average guy in NA.

What's so complex? You use a mallet to knock a few balls around. I played it a bit as a kid until it got boring.
