In Cricket when a bowler is having a rather poor over, being hit for six or four every ball, ie smacked out of the ground. This is often refered to as being 'Smacked about like Sheryl Gascoigne'.
(Also used in computer game cricket game Brian Lara)

This saying comes from ex-footballer & ex-"manager" plus recovering alcoholic & wife beater Paul "Gazza" Gascoigne, who used to hit Sheryl about a bit.
