Greens Norton bowled first ....

South Northants' finest .... cricket as it should be played. The bowler following through; the batsmen playing a proper shot; the fielders alert and either poised or walking in .... sigh .....
Joe Lindsay, playing only his third match for the club, returns the ball to the keeper.
As you can see, our keeper, Dave Robinson (aka "Bungle") takes his cricket seriously. here he prepares to sprint to the wickets to receive the ball from Dave Wilson.
Mark Neil (aka "Curly") sends one down to one of the Gayton top order batsmen.
Is it me, Curly, or is the follow through a little shorter than it used to be?
Mike Bristow (aka "Brizza") celebrates his first catch in low key (supported by a worryingly enthusiastic Neil Taylor).
Brizza takes his second catch in short order, watched by the slightly more enthusiastic Simon Fleming.
This Gayton batsman seemed to have just the one shot - the late block.
See what I mean?
And now .... what we all really came for - drinks!

See more ....
