And in other news

1st XI Skip Simon McOscar has been invited to take part in a selection day on Sunday the 21st July in London after entering the Strongbow 'Earn It' challenge. He will be up against 9 other weekend warriors selected from around the UK.

The winner will face an over from test bowling ace Jimmy Anderson, seen here struggling to hit a can of Strongbow off the top of middle - http://sport.uk.msn.com/cricket/jimmy-anderson-takes-on-the-strongbow-challenge

The winner will be announced after an event on Sunday 28th July, with the over against Jimmy Anderson to take place in August.

I'm sure Jimmy has been keeping an eye on the weekly ESCA Div 1 results page and will be confident he can skittle McOscar (if selected)! Or perhaps just bowl one outside off for him to play an attempted late cut and edge it back on to his stumps!
