Garfield SobERs is clapped onto the pitch, takes his stand and plays the first delivery. To the shock of his team and his supporters, his bat only makes a snick with the ball which is easily caught by the wicket keeper. "Howzat", shouts the bowler. The umpire raises his finger. "Rough justice there", says one of the other players as Garfield heads to the changing rooms. Ten minutes later his colleague seeks him out and finds Garfield with tears streaming down his face. "Oh, come on, Garfield, don't be a cryer. It happens", he says. "We'll go over to the fryer afterwards and you can have a few beers to drown your sorrows". Garfield responds: "It's not tears - I'm starting a fever. I'm heading home and to bed."
