Vacationing in Australia, Piers Morgan took his Twitter talk to the cricket court, persevering through repeated blows to the body coming from a former Australian bowler.
Before facing off with Brett Lee, Morgan took to Twitter for pre-match trash talk:
Mate @BrettLee_58 – why would I be scared of you, when I’ve done this? > http://t.co/6llf13N9QN @MannyPacquiao

Fast-forward to the match, where Lee’s repeated strikes launched Morgan to the ground.

For Morgan’s part, he took it in stride:
Also for the record, @BrettLee_58 bowled 6 (big) no-balls and 5 bouncers. Otherwise, I’d have battered him.

No, but my wrist, ribs and head did > RT @Jj2550 @piersmorgan Did your bat even touch at least one ball?
