"Jeez man, what the hell happened to you."
"I took a cricket ball in the face."
Wow, that sounds so... well, it doesn't sound like I got into a fight or anything worthy of being proud of, to be honest, as we came up short in the match and I came back with a black eye (see below). Running to a straight position, I ended up with a manageable ball, which bounced quite high. I moved my hands to above my head, anticipating that the ball would (hopefully) slap my hands and stay in play, saving a few runs.
Sadly, my calculations forgot that key part of Newtonian Physics - the theory of gravity, which pulled the ball below my hand and into my eye / eyebrow area. Following on from earlier references to Newtonian Physics, I hit the deck like a sack of spuds and went through my reboot sequence, to try and remember what day it was.
Well, with the bruise seemingly getting worse every time I look at it, I'll be posting updated pictures of how this looks no doubt, so check back for more pics.

Bowling balls don't bounce over head height :P
