@arbitro my partner’s cousin is reffing today’s game Tony. Anthony Backhouse, a Carlisle lad. Hope I’m not putting the mockers on him but he normally has a good game whenever I’ve seen him.
Nasty Mark! Coldest I’ve ever been on a footie pitch was at YMCA in Mellor during a particularly bad blizzard. Blacksnape was very exposed to the elements - my last Lancashire house in Hoddlesden looked onto those pitches; happy memories mate!
Indeed, and only second by 6 balls as well! Which is incredible and the equivalent of about a 1.5 second gap in a marathon race given that Jimmy and Kumble both bowled 30,000+ deliveries to reach 600 wickets.
