Sport hurts. Especially if you’re an Australian cricket fan trying to catch a ball

Was that really worth it?

Evan Fanning

We’ve all been there, haven’t we?

It all seems fairly simple. You’re watching a great cricket match between Australia and England; a ball smacked to the boundary for four comes your way and so you reach out to catch it. What could go wrong?

Well, lots it would seem as this Aussie cricket fan found out.

To make matters worse thanks to the wonders of the internet his misfortune is immediately bounced around the world for all to see.

We just hope it was worth it. It seems to have been for his friend at least.

It may have been some consolation that Australia went on to beat England by three wickets with one ball to spare.
