Neil Cutts decided enough was enough when his house on the green at St Helens kept being bombarded with cricket balls.

Father of two Neil wanted to make sure he was not going to be caught out again, so he delivered his own Yorker to make his point. He swung in from the boundary ropes, dashed through extra cover, failed to get trapped leg before, and promptly parked his 4 X 4 Rav on the pitch inbetween the stumps. A clear case of Rav stopped play!
He explained “I have been having trouble for the past couple of years. One day we were sitting outside in our back garden when a ball landed nearby. In the end we thought it was safer to sit there wearing tin helmets.
“On the latest occasion it wasn’t so much the balls being hit at us, but the cricketers didn’t even have the decency to apologise. I don’t really want to upset anyone, because this is a small, friendly community, but I just felt it was time I made a point.”
Peace has been restored in the sleepy village, with cricketers having promised to put a net up in front of Mr Cutts’ house for added protection when they play their games on the green in future.
