Try a ball travelling at 100mph *after* it has bounced off a wicket (peice of
hard mud, grass optional) of dubious bouncability, coming up at your head and
you don't know whether to duck, pull back or hit the thing for 6 (a home run).
If you are like me you try doing all 3 and get a huge bruise on your right
shoulder.
