FERRET
On Monday night we brought to you the bunnies of cricket. Those poor souls in the lower order who, knowing their batting limitations, stare down the wicket like a rabbit caught in a car headlights. Yes, we brought you the Rabbit.
Tonight we bring you another animal of the cricketing world. The Ferret.
Ferrets are bowlers who enjoy getting amongst the rabbits in the lower order. Sometimes, skippers even select specialist ferrets from his bowling line-up to dislodge the rabbits in the tail end.
The ferret enjoys the discomfort of the poor rabbit. Not all ferrets are quick bowlers but all of them know how to polish off a tail end. And enjoy it.
A good example of a ferret in recent Tigers games was Chris Ellis. Having not taken a wicket amongst the Stuffed Beavers' top order batsmen, our Chris was set loose on the tail end and ended up with figures of 4-0-18-3.
Nice ferreting amongst the Beavers' rabbits, Chris!
