Reportedly, Kinross fieldsman Sam Nicholls does not.

It seems while in the process of taking a routine skied catch on Friday night, Nicholls was floored by a rampaging Nathan Gander.

The Wanderers-Gladstone batsman had ‘accidentally’ lost his bearings and deviated from his running line....by four or five metres.

Naturally, the chance was grounded and umpire Scott Larsen had no choice but to give Gander out ‘obstructing the field’.

From all accounts, Larsen was having none of Gander’s excuse; “It was an accident, I was watching the ball and didn’t see him’.

Nice try Nath.

IN the spirit of rare occurrences, Cricki Leaks has once again plunged into the animal kingdom upon the sighting of another rare creature.

Having reported on the rarest of primates, the Newcastle Boundy in March this year, sources close to this column reported sightings of an eerily similar creature, nesting in the Royal Hotel area in the early hours of last Saturday morning.

Cricki Leaks has since determined the creature as ‘the Maitland Boundy’, a close relative of the NB.

The Maitland Boundy, or ‘Offspinius Lackofturnious’, has been named aptly; not quite a Newcastle Boundy, but closer to that than the more common relative, the Orange Boundy.

Unlike the NB, the Maitland Boundy does not shed it’s outer layers of skin, nor does it intimidate its foes with wildly disruptive inappropriate dance moves.

In fact, the Maitland Boundy is rumoured to have missed several steps of the evolutionary process, and as a result has two distinct physiological traits.

Reportedly, the Maitland Boundy’s legs did not develop properly, and it regularly loses control of it’s limbs and stumbles, or falls upon heavy liquid consumption.

Also, the Maitland Boundy regularly emits a loud, slurred noise, which elevates when angered or intimidated, possibly to indicate dominance.

Similarly to the NB, there is just one known photo of the Maitland Boundy. 

Let’s hope the town’s nature lovers keep on the lookout.
