The article recounts a troubling incident involving a teenager named Josh, who, during a heated argument with his father over buying a gaming monitor, escalates the situation by throwing a cricket ball at his dad. This act of aggression results in Josh's father spending four days recovering in the hospital. The narrative highlights the fracture in their relationship and the repercussions of impatience and privilege, ultimately leading to Josh missing out on the gaming PC he coveted.
I played competitive cricket on Saturdays with about six guys from school (a fairly middle-of-the-road private school). The other seven came from a neighboring private school, and these fellas were completely loaded. The coach's son, Josh, was used to getting whatever he wanted.
Josh is 17 and has a hell of an arm. And for anyone who hasn't held a cricket ball, they're a lot heavier and harder than a baseball. Josh's dad spent four days in the hospital, and Josh never got to use his brand-new high-end gaming PC.
