A cricket home run leaves the whole dang stadium

“AND HE’S CRICKETED IT! I’VE NEVER SEEN SUCH A CRICKETING IN ALL MY LIFE!”

Okay, so before you ask: yes, a “home run” of this type in cricket is always worth six runs. Also, Dhoni is like the Barry Bonds of cricket, so he’s fully rad. Look up some Dhoni highlights on YouTube for a fun time.

Full disclosure: he may have only hit that ball about 110 meters. But here is a good rule of sports: it is always fun to watch a ball leave the stadium. Another rule of sports: no one show Brian McCann this video, because he will just be livid.

(Also: yes, I know what a crumpet is.)
