[Parson Henry]

I'll keep me mouth shut.

No keep it open but say things like [name of Hants bowler] is bound to take some wickets.

 

[Parson Henry]

Captains's innings?

 

[CHAPPERS]

We could do with a couple of overs like this....

A Yorkshire club cricketer has surpassed Sir Gary Sobers by hitting 42 off a single over.

Jonathan Hughes struck six sixes, a four and a two off medium-pacer Craig Hobson while playing for North Leeds against Hall Park in a Cup match.

The feat was possible because Hobson sent down two no-balls in the over and Hughes went on to make 126 not out.

Former West Indies captain Sobers famously hit 36 off an over for Notts against Glamorgan in 1968.

His record was later matched by India's Ravi Shastri, who struck six sixes while batting for Bombay 21 years ago.

There are, however, no official records for club cricket.

"It seemed to take forever because of the time spent looking for the ball," Hughes commented.

I played in a game last year where a bowler was hit for 34 off one over.

And it wasn't me: I was the poor sod at long-leg who had to do a lot of leather chasing.

If your CO is granted... it will be some time around 3pm a week on Friday at this rate!

Grizzly making Gwylan's efforts look distinctly Pietersenesque!

 

[CHAPPERS]

RR 2.09 an over.

I wonder why the scoring is so slow.

Trying to see the game out as a draw. McgHee has been appointed an adviser and has earmarked this game as one Sussex cannot win.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

run rate is up to 2.10...

typical Rose Bowl pitch would be my guess - bat first coz its only going to get worse...

If that was the case Lewry would have been opening the batting and Mushy would be keeping wicket.
