The Booth Obsession

[AussieMick]

What a pity that it wasnt cricket.
I can just see Lincoln crouching at silly mid off, waiting to snap up a foolishly ambitious batsman's injudicious attempt to slash at a googly.

Or Lincoln as a fast bowler, running 30 yards and hair flowing, sending down a 120 mph bouncer which crashes into the batsman's chest. The next ball of course Lincoln bowls slightly slower, the batsman cringes and waggles the bat too quickly, and the ball hits middle stump.

Or Lincoln standing at deep extra cover for hours on end, seemingly bored to tears as the play continues with the ball not coming within 50 yards of him. And then suddenly a batsman skies the ball way up into the heavens and Lincoln launches himself to run way way way to his unfavoured left side staring up into the sky as the red orb screams towards him ... it smacks into his hands ... and he drops it. And shrugs.
