And my brother and I are happy bunnies 
No doubt the Southern California Cricket Association will shortly be sick of hearing about it from No. 1 son, No. 2 son will manage to incorporate it into his sermon this Sunday and my elder grandson will attribute their success entirely to Joe Root.
Yippeeee (And well done Ryan Sidebottom, aka Sid, who took a 6-fer.)

As a Lancashire C.C.C. supporter, I offer true congratulations, ( said with a bit of sarcasm ), and well done.
Meanwhile down at Hove, the Red Rose struggle against relegation. It could be a long Winter for me. Alanthemanc0 -
Oh Alan, I don't merely sympathise, I empathise. It's a bitter pill.
However, I promise you all my positive cricketing vibes will now be at the disposal of the Red Rose for the rest of the season. I always maintain that southerners just don't get the Roses thing. It might be Yorks v Lancs but it's also both of us v the rest

I once played against Sobers in 1972 when he Pro'd at Littleboro. He didn't get me out, I faced about 5 overs from him, but he did smash our side all over the park. Then Arthritis started when I was 16, and that was the end of my short Cricket career. Alanthemanc0 -
You really are a happy bunny SW...many congratulations to them...

Oh Alan, that must have been devastating news to a promising 16 yr old :shock: When I was diagnosed, aged 15, the only thing that meant a lot to me that I had to let go of pretty quickly was playing the piano and I guess the neighbours would have regarded that as a blessing in disguise :oops:
What a triumph to stick out five Sobers overs! Well done you
My son, in L.A. has, in friendlies, got the wickets of Steve Waugh (caught on the boundary, alas), Kieron Pollard (clean bowled) and - almost - Virendar Sehwag (two fielders collided :roll: ). It's a funny old game.
Theresak and Barbara – thank you. I shall take full credit despite having contributed nothing whatsoever Better luck to Durham next season. If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

Congratulations from our neck of the woods too, it's a game I have never understood (Mr DD adores it) but I am aware that although other cricket clubs exist the best is Yorkshire. Apparently.
Alan? Strewth mate, you kept that light well-hidden your bushel, my jaw literally dropped as I read your post about facing that famous cricketer, Sir Garfield Sobers is a name I remember from my childhood. Have you ever read Slipless in Settle? A friend sent a copy to my husband for his birthday and I couldn't wait to get my hands on it - it's a wonderfully comic account of northern cricket. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0 -

Yup. Fifteen, actually, but the key one, yesterday, was where they beat the Robin Hood's County lot If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.
