PUN FUN

It's always a challenge to enliven cricket reports with a few puns - good or bad.
So I'm enjoying the developing career of Outcasts youngster Peter 'Spud' Tait.
He can chip in to the total, score some crisp boundaries, and enjoy a rich harvest/crop of wickets.
Well, you get the idea!
My eyes lit up the other Sunday while at Haxey when discovering the lads in the Isle of Axholme club refer to their Sir Lankan overseas star Chinthaka Perera as 'Chin'. More scope for puns there in the coming weeks. Especially if the paceman gets one past the batsman at face level.
Looking back in time, Lincolnshire Minor Counties and Normanby Park stalwart left-armer Dave Marshall, also from the Isle of Axholme by the way, repaired domestic appliances to earn a crust, famously resulting in "Washing Machine Repair Man Has Them In A Spin".

  1. One pun that springs to mind this year is Danny ' Salad ' Dewfall is playing in the midweek friendly league for Pipers Crisps , who as an added bonus provide a box of 48 assosrted flavoured crisps for each game. Roumour has it that Salad's average is almost into double figures and I'm not talking about his batting average.
    ' Crispy Salad ' perhaps ?
