probably because he's a TV presenter and someone was bowling at him at 90-odd mph. mebbi. dunno. i cheered every ball that hit him though.
From personal experience, I can guarantee that it's frightening. I used to open the batting for my local club. We were down to play at Llanwern, near Newport. They had a young Asian fast bowler playing for them. Absolutely lightening quick, could barely see the thing! A few months later, he popped up on my telly making his debut for Pakistan. Shoaib Akhtar - the Rawalpindi Express!
The man is deranged. Knows nothing about football & it's ways - just a businessman who's protecting his investment. Don't think he'll be around for much longer, another year imo - then he'll sell up.
