Cricket

Club cricket started today and some good stories

Mike Atherton reading out about a Gavin Hope from Ashford in Kent started the day badly by arriving late for his game, then proceeded to bowl 5 very expensive overs taking no wickets for a mammoth 68 runs including 10 wides. Didn't bring any food, batted at number seven where he was run out without facing - and to finish on the right note found he'd split his trousers trying to make his ground.

Welcome back village green cricket!

I hope they don't have to say Cockermouth again.
 
Still need another 100 here i feel for them to be in with a chance. Is the wicket playing bad? Find it weird how the commentators seem to think 200 would be a hard target.

Another 70 and I'd make England favourites. 230 be very tough chase.

200 doesn't seem a lot but in tests, teams fail to make it in 4th innings more often than they get it.
