Nicholls595 Jul 2021 2:00pm, 30 Jul 2021 25,308 posts	0 Nicholls595 I played my first few matches (as an 11 year old) in some sort of whiteish trainers. I was given an old (very old) pair of leather soled cricket boots, with screw in spikes, by one of the senior players. They were two sizes too big and I had to get the whitener on them (blanco?) same as the stuff we used on pads. Lasted me a couple of seasons before I got my own pair of new boots.

Real dissent, awful to watch. 2 balls later, LBW, which she reviewed but was given out. Terrible example to be setting, glad she was out but suspect the umpire would have triggered her regardless.
