The High Five – according to Jerry Seinfeld, “slapping hands is the lowest form of primate ritual.”
It can also be the most dangerous, as Australian cricketer Brad Hadddin found out in India overnight.
The veteran wicket-keeper was forced off the field after a stray high five from young all-rounder James Faulkner left him with an injured eye.
Haddin will be right to play after missing 22 overs off the field with a scratched eye. Faulkner continued celebrating, seemingly oblivious to Haddin’s pain.
Roar cricket expert Geoff Lemon said on Twitter he initially believed it was a terrible injury, as he thought he saw ‘juice’ coming from Haddin’s eye, but thankfully the ‘keeper wasn’t badly injured.
And Haddin is not the first, nor will he be the last to suffer the pain and ignominy of a High Five Fail.
