Cricket fighting legend arrested in police swoop

cricket-fighting-king-arrested.jpgA cricket fighting ring was smashed recently as police swooped on a cafeteria in West Shanghai and arrested 66 enthusiasts.

Amongst the arrested was Shanghai's Number 1 Cricket Teaser, a man surnamed Lin.

"Lin was famous among cricket fanciers. If he teased a cricket he could make it angry enough to beat even a stronger opponent" said one of the arresting officers, clutching an autograph book.

Rumours of an upcoming movie called "Lin: Cricket Teaser Of Doom" starring Steven Seagal are unconfirmed.
