Yes - it really is true! We can score a lot of runs ...
And here's the cause of most of them ....
.... Mike Bristow ploughing a lonely furrow in the field.
Here we see young tyro Matt Donger in full flow ....
... and looking alert in the field ....
.... as he patrols the fast bowler's traditional outpost at fine leg.
In sharp contrast, Chris Bowmer, the not-so-young tyro, even watches the action as he moves to his fielding position at cow corner.
But he does have a classic bowling action.
The rather more sedate (but undoubtedly golden-armed) Neil Taylor trundles up with the village sail/shelter/teen refuse as a backdrop.
In village cricket - especially on a hot afternoon - no-one hurries between overs. A stroll is more the order of the day.
And, to cap it all off, here is a classic scene from a village cricket match. We've even got the sun streaming down. What a shame it's nearly the end of the season.
