London, Aug 14: An English village cricket club has
thrown up a challenge to wannabe cricketers to hit a 150-yard
shot into hollywood star Catherine Zeta Jones' back garden and
earn 100 pounds.
The first batsman to achieve the feat would also have to go and ask for the ball back to collect his 100 pounds, insisted chairman of the Mumbles Cricket Club in Swansea, Mark Portsmouth who put up the prize, according to a report in 'The Daily Mirror'.
"One big six could do it. It would have to be a massive hit but it is possible," Portsmouth said.
According to Wisden records, the biggest hit ever is 175 yards - achieved in 1856.
The 33-year-old actress will use the house when visiting relatives in Swansea.
