Did anyone see this lad on the sports news yesterday? He’s a Zimbabwean cricketer and was playing in the Lancashire County Championship for some team when the crowd started sledging him. He then threw the ball at a load of old farts in deckchairs watching the game. Everyone was trying to restrain him but he ran around making loud grunting noises. Bizarre. Then he picked up a boundary marker with a spike and tried to go after the crowd but some lad wrestled him to the ground. When he pinned him down he hit him a couple of digs in the face for good measure and then he had to be pulled away as well.
Vermeulen got a 10 year ban from cricket. He was on tv yesterday apologising and hoping the incident wouldn’t stand in the way of his world cup aspirations!
