♪♫ Synge ♪♫ Apr 2023 11:32am, 25 Apr 2023 49,713 posts	Quote Pin ♪♫ Synge ♪♫ Apropos nothing at all, I have been reminiscing on the Famous Birthdays thread about Gordon Greenidge's century in each innings at Old Trafford in 1976. He reached 101 in the second innings and on the next ball he took an almighty swing at Mike Selvey's delivery and missed. Middle stump removed. As Greenidge walked back to the pavilion, he had a big grin on his face. (It's Mike Selvey's birthday today.)

rf_fozzy Apr 2023 10:09am, 26 Apr 2023 19,973 posts	Quote Pin rf_fozzy Bairstow scored some runs for Yorks 2s yesterday. Good signs. Anyway, just popped in to say that county cricket doesn't half shoot itself in the foot a lot of the time. Bank Holiday weekend. No CC action for half the counties. Why don't they schedule games to start Sat and then run to Tues. Same for the following weekend. All the games are scheduled for finish Sunday - but the Monday is a bank Hol - have them finish then! (nobody cares about an accident of birth having lots of public money spent on an anachronistic ceremony that shouldn't be happening). Bonkers.
