A shard
Warwickshire's players are hard at work in pre-season training, mainly on yer regular crickety-type activities - batting, bowling, fielding and the like.
But there's more. All the Bears players have been or will be given a briefing on...the law regarding to corporate manslaughter.
This makes a lot of sense. It means that Jonathan Trott can venture out to bat safe in knowledge that, should he hit a six which clonks somebody on the bonce with fatal results, he will be well-prepared for any subsequent litigation. Similarly, Jimmy Anyon can hurl himself into sliding stops on the boundary comfortable with the fact that, if his momentum takes him into collision with the boundary fence, a shard of which splinters off, flies through the air and pierces a spectator tragically through the heart, he will be equipped to fight any pending legal battle. Makes sense.
Or has the world gone slightly mad?

Question is, will the big girls' blouses still run into the stand when it starts to rain
Dont get that in other sports.
is it any wonder that so many countries dont take cricket seriously?
Who is responsible if a four-day game is allowed to fizzle out disgracefully and members of the crowd die of boredom?
Or if a batsman over-heats because of all his protective clothing?
Shirt, shorts and socks are more than enough for footballers and rugby players.
When they have mastered the law regarding corporate manslaughter maybe they could get cracking on duckworth/lewis.
When does the Twenty/20 start? I can just see Birmingham Bears whuppin Cardiff Sheep Rustlers' and then taking on the IPL finest
