Bullseye! If you take enough photographs at cricket grounds, eventually one will show the ball hitting the stumps. Here is that successful shot, along with a few more of Sir Paul Getty’s XI v th...
This was my first visit to Grace Road and it was a great day – apart from the fact that Notts lost. This was in the days when the One Day Cup was still a serious competition, and featured the to...
Brydon Carse bowled with a lot of pace and hostility in this T20 Blast game from May 2022. His radar was a bit off, however, and he finished with figures of 1/34. Three years on and he’s in the ...
