Sack-of-Cackism

Professor Earp, of St Matthews University, today granted an interview with this website on his groundbreaking and revolutionary new theories on the localised trans-quantum-mechanical subatomic gravitational instability particles (commonly known as sack-of-cackism) which are receiving increasing acknowledgement by the established scientific community.

Earp has personally overseen years of intensive research into this strange phenomenon which has plagued cricketing events throughout the ages.

"It seems that at the subatomic level, there are shifts within the localised gravitational fields wherever cricket is played, the cause of which remains largely unknown. However, based on our research, we can begin to theorise towards the causes of this effect as most cases appear whenever there is pressure placed upon an individual in the game.

"We suspect that the individual’s personal electromagnetic field is intensified by the pressure of chasing, fielding or catching a ball and this in turn triggers a chain reaction which results in an instability of the localised gravitational field at the subatomic level.

"The sudden increase in pull towards the earth is quite capable of felling a cricketer in the blink of an eye and in a most unceremonious manner. We have been fortunate to record many such instances over the past few seasons and hope to continue our research into the future."

This website thanks Professor Earp for his time in sharing this intriguing information on a phenomena that has plagued cricket for years.
