A couple of cricketing stories in the national press have caught my eye in recent weeks - both involving similar-looking relatives substituting for each other in matches.
This comes as no surprise. Indeed it's quite usual these days for umpires, and opposing teams, to struggle when it comes to identifying batsmen arriving at the crease in full-face helmets.
Wearing hoods and crash helmets is not permitted in certain shopping malls and retail premises in the UK, due to the impossibility of identifying who's wearing them.
Which is a strange fact put alongside the ECB's insistence on under-19 batsmen (and keepers standing up) donning their lids.
