Oh to have been there today...drinking beer for 6 hours whilst watching Beer for 6 hours.

Highest 1st Class score for Beer?

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

I must say Will Beer has surprised me. All those years at Sussex and it turns out he's an opener!

Taking after his old man and uncle who both opened for years for a very successful Horsham 1st XI

Up here in Wisbech it is grey and horrible, so no change from previous visits. Hope there is enough play to get max batting points as it doesn't sound like there will be a result.

You're a bit optimistic: that's 143 runs in 14 overs - the rate we're scoring, it may be a stretch to reach 300
