Match drawn and flies

Perhaps we have a drink some time. And talk cricket, yes?

I am officially starting a campaign for Brian Halford's call up to the Sky Sports Cricket Show on Sundays.

One Brian Halford...

Somebody's being a little bit naughty here...

Norman, what was your name before you started campaigning?

No not at all I would definately watch you on TV. No black tie either.

I ask you this, if the respected George Dobbell's started apppearing on the Sunday morning show then why hasn't the VERY HIGHLY respected Brian Halford been given the call?

Mr Halford has made the title of the Midlands' Voice of Cricket his own - now get him on the bigger stage.

Anyone from Sky Sports reading this - snap him up now.

Definitely. Halford needs to be taken out to the nation.
Just think how he could stun the presenter with his Action Man gag.......

I'd be watching Brian.

Me too. Could pick up some tips.

Halford is a big name on the warks social circuit. 'Alford the Hood they call him down in the Stix

I think it is obvious Mr Halford is a popular man and should be appearing on a bigger stage. keep the momentum going ladies and gentleman out there

I've got a bit of time on my hands now if you need a hand.

All together now, YOU ROCK BRIAN!

Thank you for your support ladies and gentlemen. I have a message, however, for whoever it is out there who is commenting in the name of Trevor Catt. I have spoken to Trevor and must warn you that he strongly disapproves of anyone borrowing his identity.
Or, indeed, his clothes-pegs.

I can fight my own battles thank you Halford.
And anyone can borrow my clothes pegs as long as they ask courteously.

I think he's coming round to the idea......

So at the end of this match, the Division 2 county championship averages show where the guys stand in the pecking order..... Well done Mr Frost for the leading the pack. Well done to Maddy, Salibury and Trott who join Carter as our best 4 bowlers.......

The Batting

1st Frost
2nd Ambrose
17th Trott
18th Salsbury
26th Bell
35th Troughton
40th Maddy
54th Carter
71st Woakes
76th Powell

The Bowling

4th Maddy
28th Salisbury
36th Carter
50th Trott
52nd Anyon
57th Daggett
59th Botha
60th Zondeki
62nd Woakes
73rd Tahir

You mean there were only 59 better than Zondeki? I'm amazed.

A commendable attempt to restore order there, Warleybear. I feel that Woakes' stats will only get better. The umpires were impressed with both his batting and bowling at Gloucester.

I hope Woakes' nickname is Berti....

Still waiting Brian.....

Brian, make poverty history. cheaper plugs now.

I noticed that you are the only one of your writers to have a shop named after you. After all I've never seen a Tattums or a Lepowskis

For that alone you are a consumeratilarian legend.

Brian, I salute you

There must be a Howells, Berrys or Pullens somewhere. If not there should!

If I find out who's posting messages on 'ere in my name I'm going to take staps.

And if that doesn't work I'll take steps.

Ooh Betty...........

Whatever happened to Michelle Dotrice? She didnt seem to be in anything else.

Still living in London from what I can gather Stripey.
Married to Edward Woodward - or, if you take out the 'd's' - Ewar Woowar.
Perhaps the two of them could join you on the Sky Sports sofa?

Brian?
