Leg byes from all the sweeping; the ones that are missing the stumps. No connection with the bat at all in the 50 odd failed sweeps does not preclude the next one from trying.

I'm still getting over Gatt's reverse sweep in 1987.

Last year the floodlights got taken down at woodbank Park Stadium, home of Stockport Harriers...track was cancelled for a month. There was almost a revolt and sessions with headlamps threatened....

So yes, Greppers, it happens.

Sorry, TRO, but you know, we won that in the world when he doesn't play that off Alan Firkin Border!

I suspect you're right WS, though it suggests they're not satisfied with the quality/volume they're getting through the traditional routes
