I would not class myself as elderly but I am approaching that period in my life. However, I am finding it increasingly impossible to access some of these 'Ready Meal...

Paddy Martin doesn't allow batters to settle.

He wants the ball in his hand as soon as possible and rushes the opposition into making poor decisions.

Not that he is a bloody good bowler though !

Not sure about where Tom Walker will be in the future but it's not likely to be as an amateur.

Perhaps needs to reduce his run up, however, he has got some pace.

His biggest addition is that now he can bat. As a middle order player he can get the runs going very quickly.

Good luck to the lad.

I have not visited Continentals since it had the restaurant venue in the Keirby Hotel. Which was very good.
