Indeed.
BBC Sport didn’t seem to appreciate they were actually Jimmy’s career best figures.

Tickets on sale for the two T20 games against SA at Stormont.
The second one clashes with the opening Lions Test.

Re: Cricket season
I like the way we’ve made OT the last Test and are having the first three at grounds it’s likely to do a bit.

Re: Cricket season
The opposite really.
Should get a bit of seam and swing in Nottingham, St John’s Wood and Leeds.
It will spin in Manchester by which time we should have the series wrapped up.

Still tempted by headingly, but i suspect it will be sold out by the time I can make a decision.

Re: Cricket season
Every credit to the batter but pretty sure I didn’t get hit for six sixes in total in 35 years.
Re: Cricket season
I remember one kid hitting me for six over mid-on and the fielder stationing himself on the boundary after belatedly retrieving the ball from thick undergrowth.
I brought him back into the ring, loudly stating there’s no way the batter would try that again.
And got him stumped the next ball.

Re: Cricket season
I saw Botham hit six sixes in one over at Wallace Park, Lisburn in a showcase appearance back in the day! [ although given the size of the pitch at Wallace Park it probably wasn’t that stupendous a feat!]
Hope is not a strategy.
