Title: Stump Collecting?!
Post by: 400notout on December 31, 2010, 12:57:53 PM

Just had a few thoughts watching the ashes highlights. It applies to any international game but the only time I've really noticed. When the match is ended, obviously if it's a series win or a thriller etc some of the players take the stumps as souveniers. Can just imagine Sachins garage full of as many stumps as Hosk has bats!

Ive noticed many a time that Sachin walks off after scoring the winning runs and a team mate grabs a stump for him as he seems too focused to remember.

I have a stump from a game we won. But I did break it when I was bowling so I decided to keep it :)

It already had a crack in it, the ball just hit it in the right place.

I'm not 'fast' at all lol
