The fielder was an idle sort of chap, slow on his pins and I regret that the motivation of my girly throw was, as with BB I would retrospectively have wished, not kindness but cowardice.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06972049290586377462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-8960795152903011992009-08-13T08:48:21.328+01:002009-08-13T08:48:21.328+01:00I love the picture of the two profs!

And the recognition that you've forgotten occurs a third of the way through the throwing action. A voice tells you "This isn't going to work" and the result is utterly feeble.
