The substitute player has been taken ill. Infernal poisoning is suspected, of course, but the Ladies' captain is the picture of yellow-eyed innocence. Can you step in?

Challenge information

Luck A matter of luck: It could go either way (success chance: 50%)

Success

Thwack!

A solid forward drive [...], and you rack up another boundary. [...] You're putting on a good show, [...] applause ripples around the ground. [...] you'll not soon forget what the Ladies' pace bowler whispered [...]. You're [...] not sure whether it was a foul curse or a unique offer.


Failure

Not today

Alas, the captain of the Benthic XI doesn't feel the need for a substitution yet. Dressed in a rather motheaten spare sweater, you watch the proceedings from the pavilion. The sandwiches are pretty good, though.
