.....Breaking News....Investigation Launched into Suspicious Wides

.....breaking news....investigation launched into suspicious series of wide full tosses bowled by an unnamed left armer seam bowler - the 2nd, 8th, 10th, 16th, 19th, 20th and 23rd deliveries of his 4 over spell are being analysed.

Observers have suggested that the balls were so bad that the bowler must have deliberately been aiming to miss the wicket keeper. This is not the 1st accusation of deliberate poor bowling to have been levelled at HX 1st XI bowlers this season: Bainbridge, Ellis, Russell, Killey and Webb have also bowled suspicious spells.

  5. I better not say any more but worth pointing out that the 1sts did lose 6 of their last 7 games...and then the skipper suddenly acquires a new car (from some dodgy character).
