Aside from batting all day at one run an over to save Test matches, Faf du Plessis’s other thing is getting hit in the balls. You might say that he’s a specialist.
In the video below, he talks you through the countermeasures he has been forced to take. Here’s a link to the video as well because we’re 95 per cent certain that it won’t show up for email subscribers.

Hilariously sophisticated stuff here:

I haven’t yet worked out how the jokes work, so they must be super subtle.
Clearly the irony-missing-rabble haven’t got it yet either.

Didn’t think so.
I’ll keep pondering.
