Caistor stalwart Wes Allison has tonight supplied this photo of Harry Boulton (right) and James Wright, who had a magnificent opening stand of 306 (unbeaten) at Broughton in the North Lindsey League. Harry scored 177 and James 101.
Broughton replied with 228, Robbie "Mr Paddle Sweep" Glentworth scoring his maiden 50.
Scores: Caistor 306-0, Broughton 228 all-out.
Wes says it was "a very good batting track - a credit to Broughton."
Nigel Fisher adds: A few years ago I umpired Broughton v Hibaldstow, when Wayne "Moxy" Read and Nick Crawford put on 333/4 for the first wicket, which I think the North Lindsey League declared an all-time partnership record. I took a similar photo to Wes's with the two batsmen infront of the scoreboard.
URGENT CORRECTION: Thanks to our well-wishing Poster for pointing out it was Matty Hammond in the big stand, not Nick. Not that Nick will mind, of course!
Nige,
ReplyDeleteMatty Hammond will not be impressed you confused him with Crawf!!!!
