Oh wow! I played against him (& some of the other SA greats), at The Wanderers, on a Dragons CC tour 40 odd years ago. 🙌
Over 30 guests enjoyed their fix of cricket on what should have been Day5 of Perth Test. John Traicos who played for both SA in 1969/70 in their great winning side v Aus, then again, in 1992 for Zim in India. Richards, Bacher Pollock (x2) Lance Barlow Lindsay were all in the XI

Season’s Reflections: Evening Cricket https://t.co/WfTCFWgPrw Possibly the best evening cricket league in the UK is the @CheshireCCL O40s competition. Many participants have gone on to play county O50s. Its a mystery why every league in the country doesn’t adopt a similar format.

Congratulations to former @MDCAssn club @DidsburyCC, who have not only retained their CCCL Premiership title, but also retained the Cheshire Cup last weekend, beating Lindow CC by just 6 runs. And not only that, but the 2nd XI have retained their Prem title too! #WellDone 👏👏👏
