The Participants : Smitty and Big Si
The Prize: $100/$1000
The Bet: The second craziest bet made so far ( for number 1 see the Think Before You Speak ).
Smitty came up with the statement that he would not get bowled at all this season. Before he had the chance to retract his statement, Big Si came in for the kill offering up 10-1 odds on this and thrusting out the hand to make the bet complete. After a brief flash of fear, Smitty took up the bet.
The caveats with this one is that Smitty must bat in at least 80% of the seasons games. If he gets bowled in any innings, the bet is over and won by Big Si ($100) If he goes through the year without getting bowled, he wins $1k
RESULT: After just 5 innings, and on the last game before Xmas, Paul gets bowled and loses not only the chance to have $1000 payout, but now OWES $100. In the same match, he also dropped FIVE catches, including three in ONE OVER. An out and out shocker of a match for Paul 'the mitt' Smith
