BOOK NOW FOR AGGERS "DO"

Caistor Town Cricket Club will host a Sportsman’s dinner on April 15 with the voice of the BBC’s cricket coverage and former England cricketer Jonathan Agnew. The “Evening with Jonathan Agnew” event will take place at Forest Pines, Broughton and will be sponsored by Cherry Valley.
“Aggers”, as he is affectionately called in cricketing circles, has recently returned to England from commentating on the successful Ashes series in Australia and will shortly be heading to Sri Lanka to cover the ICC Cricket One Day World Cup. He will be sure to have some fascinating stories and insights to share by the time the evening comes around in April.
The Former Leicestershire and England fast bowler took 666 first class wickets during his career and was a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1988. He retired from the game in 1990 to become a cricket correspondent for a national newspaper and is now the presenter and lead commentator on BBC Radio's "Test Match Special" programme.
James Wright, sponsorship manager at Caistor Town Cricket Club, said “To secure ‘Aggers’, the voice of English cricket, is a great coup for Caistor Cricket Club. This is our first speaker event of this kind and we believe his experience, knowledge and jocular take on the game makes him a great draw for our any sport lover in the area. Tickets are limited and we expect the event to sell-out, so we would recommend people purchase them as early as possible.”
“Aggers” has become a huge hit on Twitter with some 75,000 followers as he shares his anecdotes from the commentary box, which he shares with legends of cricket that include: Phil Tufnell, Michael Vaughan, Alec Stewart, Henry Blofeld and Christopher Martin-Jenkins. He also has a special relationship with another former player turned commentator, the straight-talking Geoff Boycott. Wisden once described the pair as the "Lennon and McCartney of cricket broadcasting”.
Wrighty continues: “We will also be using the evening as an opportunity to welcome back our professional for the new season, Sri Lankan Sahan Wijeratne. Sahan has played for us over the past two seasons and last year having smashed the league record for the most runs scored in a season. We hope the “Evening with Aggers” event will be a great way to kick-off the season.”
