There were a few back then GB.Our own Ted Hemsley, Chris Balderstone ( Carlisle), Arnie Sidebottom (Manure), Jim Cumbes ( WBA) and plenty more going even further back.That's without all the club cricketers/pro footballers which are now a dying (dead?) breed.Should be a good series this. Great to see some fans back.
I see Richard Kettleborough's umpiring, nephew of our very own Keith who died in 2009. He was a fine footballer, one of the best midfielders we've ever had at the club but he was also a very good cricketer.
They've played mainly at home during the qualifying period for the world champs (covid related) so that's helped them as it will here where their home conditions are most similar to ours.NZ could be dark horses again. They’ve put together a decent side.
Owd Keith was playing for us when i first started going to BDBL, a good player as i recall.I think he lived in Whiston at one time or somewhere close to Gods own village of TREETON.Bill Punton copied the Kettleborough look. Do you think the England captain(Our Joe) has much idea how to get New Zealand out Gray?UTBShould be a good series this. Great to see some fans back.

Our Joe out cheaply,was it a gr8 ball or poor shot Gray? UTBYep. Me and my big mouth.
The commentators reckoned it was a great ball Rod but I didn't think he even had to play at it while he was still getting in. UTBOur Joe out cheaply,was it a gr8 ball or poor shot Gray? UTB
