SparsholtSundayXI

Account of the former skipper of Sparsholt Sunday XI. Beloved of the reverse sweep and leg slip.

[SparsholtSundayXI @SundaySkipper]

@RobCarslake @martinharlow @WisdenCricket The two lowest points of 16 years playing for @SparsholtCC - closely followed by the Hungerford incident obvs.

[SparsholtSundayXI @SundaySkipper]

@martinharlow @WisdenCricket It was LBW and I was hit outside the line of leg stump. #letitgo

@cllrtombruce @Lesley_London I suspect that this 4 months will mean you’ll stop at three. 🗜🏉🏉✂️

[Gray-Nicolls @graynics]

What's the opposite of great running between the wickets?

[SparsholtSundayXI @SundaySkipper]

@SparsholtCC Good luck boys. Go well.

[Gray-Nicolls @graynics]

The August winner of the Gray-Nicolls Golden Glove is James Hildreth! (@dreth25)

426 runs for the month. Yet another monster for the @SomersetCCC man.

We'll say it: #HildrethForEngland

It’s up! @SparsholtCC

[SparsholtSundayXI @SundaySkipper]

@zeebranger @cllrtombruce Did you mean Ernie Wise?

[SparsholtSundayXI @SundaySkipper]

@SparsholtCC Outstanding season. Just reward to the efforts of Frith, Worthers and all the boys over several seasons. Take a bow and have a cheeky gin.

[SparsholtCricketClub @SparsholtCC]
