Quack Quack
The word duck makes every cricketer shudder but it will make Andrew Macdonald shudder even more after today.
This sort of story is a blogger’s heaven, please can we have more of this stuff.
Mcdonald is currently playing for Victoria in Shield match at the WACA.
Macdonald and colleague Aaron Finch had been taking a walk in Perth before the start of play and ventured too near to some ducklings. The father Duck took umbridge (as you would) and attacked Macdonald climbing onto his back and pecking away at his head. Aaron Finch squealed and legged it in the other direction.
It an almost poetic way, Macdonald then went on to make an impressive 163 off 116 in front of Aussie selector David Boon contributing to Victoria’s mahoosive first innings score of 529.
As an aside, I need to learn more about Shield cricket and cricketers. There just aren’t enough hours in the day. Maybe I’ll just have to stop sleeping. Sleep when you’re dead I say.
