Collapsing in style
By Will last year, at the end of December, Comments
The collapse is rather like witnessing a pile-up on a motorway. You know you shouldn’t look - but the macabre is always a fascinating sight, if ugly and uncomfortable. The gruesome can be stylish, too, and the West Indies are true champions of collapsing in style. Pottering along at 122 for 2, they buckled to 146 for 8. Now that is true class.
They lead by 359, and Patrick reckons they will still win with two days to go. Hmm…

Update February 27 2006. You might be looking for this, instead.
This ‘aint good. Tresco’s father-in-law has fallen off his ladder - literally, not metaphorically, you understand. So he might be flying home.
He scored most of England’s run in the first Test, and Vaughan’s hardly put bat to ball all winter/tour. Alastair Cook, come on down!

CommentsA young cricketer has died after being hit by a ball in Greater Manchester.
Tim Melville, 19, was batting for Wallasey, from Wirral in Merseyside, in a Cheshire under-21s match at Hyde on Sunday when he was hit in the chest.
He collapsed and was given first aid before being taken to Tameside General Hospital, where he died.
A spokesman for Wallasey Cricket Club confirmed the incident took place, but declined to comment further as Mr Melville’s family are away on holiday.
A spokesman for Hyde Cricket Club said: “It is very sad to see such a thing happen to such a fine young man.”
