The eskimos may have many words for snow but as I discovered after a day behind the stumps, wicketkeepers have far more for pain – discomfort, irritation, tenderness, soreness, smarting, stinging, aching, cramping, pang, throbbing, beating, pounding, shooting, sickening, drilling, stabbing, sharp, cutting, crushing, punishing, grueling, cruel, vicious, killing, blinding, crushing, wrenching, intense, unbearable, burning, scalding, searing, penetrating, piercing, nauseating, agonising, dreadful, torturing, ….. Holy God do my legs hurt today.
