@theoldbatsman @bbctms When Ibis played London County in 1903 Grace was 55, and shortly after he took 5-for against Gloucestershire. I wrote about his bowling in An Ibis XI: 150 Years of Ibis Cricket.

@WG_RumblePants @DutchBKate Hartley, Verity, Underwood - are all left arm spinners supposed to look the same?

@ahmpreston What a lovely looking pavilion.

@huwzat We should finally admit how good the 40 over Sunday league format was. Although even then they worried about how long games took (limited bowler run ups).

@theoldbatsman @holland_tom I’ve had that since it came out - it is a great read - what a brilliant idea it was. Have often thought about copying the idea and producing a single copy of my own, so that I can clear out some ties!

@WG_RumblePants Hampshire?

[John J @JJ1920]

@theoldbatsman @CCampbell_Agent Ah, but some of you can bat!

[John J @JJ1920]

@IbisEaglesAFC Good luck.
A lot on Ibis football in the cricket club history.

@bbctms the second query was the six after the bowler broke the wicket in the delivery stride. If the bowler went on and bowled the ball and it went for six - it should count. If the ball is delivered it’s not dead ball.

@bbctms I am loathe to query John Holder but I think two answers need a re-think.
Run out with one bail off - surely it was out. (JH suggested they needed to take a sump out of the ground).
