A cricketing one: how can you describe a batsman playing carefully as a batsman playing 'circumspectly', as many commentators do? If he were playing circumspectly, he'd be looking all around as the ball was delivered, not watching it, getting out, and therefore not playing 'carefully' in the slightest. GRR!!!

Circumspect: attentive to the consequences of one's behavior.
