I never liked cricket much but I may start getting into the sport.  Orange County sheriff's deputies said they responded to a 911 call at 4:20 p.m. Saturday from a cricket match at Cyprus Grove Park and found Francis Singh, 36, shot in the abdomen.Officers said Singh apparently became involved in a fight and threatened Devan Bascom, 37, with a cricket bat.Police said Bascom then pulled a small semi-automatic gun and fired at Singh, hitting him at least once."The shooter was defending himself from an attack with a cricket bat which is simlar to a baseball bat but it's flat," Orange County sheriff's Sgt. Spike Hopkins said. "For this man to bring a firearm to a sporting event is odd but then again, he has the right to do so. He has a concealed weapons permit and if, in fact, he was protecting himself, he was authorized by law to do so."Singh was transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center and was undergoing surgery late Saturday.There have been no arrests made in the case as the investigation continues. http://www.local6.com/news/14505886/detail.html

Cricket ... American style . Take a perfectly non-violent sport like cricket , which is played amongst gentlemen and give it some badly needed violence .

I assume that Mr Singh would've retired hurt .
