Straight from the horse’s mouth
The heading means what it says. Richard Kay, batting for United Bays against Little River at Wainui last Saturday, hit a six into a paddock beside the ground. A Little River fieldsman,
Kerry Shaw, went over the fence to retrieve the ball. He - could not find it, but then noticed that a horse had apparently mistaken the. ball for an apple, and was making a valiant effort to eat it. It was a large horse. Shaw
had to spend a considerable time soothing the beast and stroking its nose, before he was able to extract the ball, which, it was reported, was in a somewhat soggy state and quite unsuitable for the Little River seam bowlers.
