Yesterday's North Lindsey League match between Appleby-Frodingham and Broughton - at Brumby Hall, Scunthorpe - will long be remembered by the Broughton lads for one very special piece of batting.
Broughton were almost down and out when tail-ender Robbie Glentworth, who had been batting as well as anyone in their side, decided it was time for something a little out of the ordinary. So he went down on one knee and shovelled the ball over his head to the fine leg boundary - almost directly behind the bemused keeper.
It was a perfectly executed shot, and Robbie was still grinning about it as he left the pavilion after the game. As were some of his team-mates.
That's the second time I've seen this shot played at club level in recent weeks, with Robbie getting the execution spot on - unlike the previous batsman, from Barton, who put bat on ball but was caught.
It's a shot the first class players use quite often in one-day matches featured on TV.
