The longest walk you can take in the world is the walk from the pitch back toward the pavilion after you have been bowled for a duck. Imagine, if you will, that you have waited eagerly for your turn at bat and that you have walked out slowly and haughtily to take your ground before your wicket. Moments later, the integrity of your wicket has been compromised by the spheroid. “Howzzat?!?” The upraised finger. The long humiliating walk back to your merciless teammates. Nothing is worse in all of sport.
