[Cricket] are they sussex in Disguise

Surreal. Incredible. Embarrassing. Some of the descriptions for a remarkable cricket turnaround.

Needing just three runs to win off the final two overs, at 186-3, High Wycombe were easing to victory and the last 16 of the National Club Championship.

But a spectacular collapse ensued - all out for 187, losing seven wickets in 11 balls to opponents Peterborough Town.

A four-wicket maiden was followed by three more dismissals in the final over, courtesy of the sixth-choice bowler, an off-spinner aged 16.

I thought you were going to talk about Kent in the Royal London Cup Final at Lords yesterday. Not a bad performance in anyone's book losing to a record score by Hampshire. What l couldn't fathom though is Kent electing to field first after winning the toss, on a fantastic batting wicket. A spectacular own goal.
