In the Minor Counties days a match with Berkshire was interrupted by a great black sow waddling from the adjacent piggery into the centre of the ground. In the early First Class Days, a Derbyshire match was stopped by a wild rabbit dashing between the players. A decade later, an Australian match was held up for a few moments by a tiny mouse which came out to inspect the crease (and ran back to tell the occupants of the ladie's enclosure).
