Nearly made me choke on my muesli.<br /><br />"This is the second testimonial year that Somerset have granted Caddick, who has been at the club since 1991" said the newsreader.<br /><br />And how did they illustrate this visually?<br /><br />One long-range shot of Caddick running up and getting creamed through the covers for four by some county batsman. And then a shot of him at the end of his run-up, being tossed the ball by mid-on... and dropping it.<br /><br />Thanks, Points West.Brithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00390560583798960760noreply@blogger.com
