At Great Tew, in a display of heroism redolent of the Iliad, I defy my #EliteSportsInjury to bowl 6 overs, & PLUNDER a wicket. 2 wickets apiece as well for @TroubledStriker & @theoldbatsman.

@bodleianlibs make 146/7 off their 35 overs.

ALL TO PLAY FOR!!!
Honoured, as acting captain, to present @MirandaMalins with her cap.
At Great Tew, @theoldbatsman & @dodo938 have taken @AuthorsCC to 61/0 off 13 overs.

No sign yet of top local celebrities David Beckham, Jeremy Clarkson or @dcsandbrook.

With temperatures on Corfu high & sticky, & my stomach the victim of a mild attack of Roumeli belly, what better time to join my fellow @AuthorsCC heroes for an afternoon of punishing but ever elite sport? Image
After @saadi & I LITERALLY blast out the Corfiote openers, a massive 180 run partnership sees Γυμναστική Εταιρεία Κέρκυρας make 223/4 off their 30 overs.

I sustain an #EliteSportsInjury by falling flat on my back.

@pfiennes & @ahmpreston to open for @AuthorsCC Image
Cloud masses, lightning flickers, as prospects of an @AuthorsCC victory darken.

We currently need 132 off 12 overs to win. Image

Ultimately, it comes down to whether the captain has the ability to recognise class, or whether he’s going to rely on the ephemeral & frankly irrelevant detail that I’ve only scored one run so far this season.
Anyway, even if I am going to be shamefully mistreated by the captain tomorrow, it’s all in a good cause, so I suppose I’ll just have to lump it...

At Dulwich College, @AuthorsCC are batting against the Bar of England & Wales XI.

Currently in negotiations with @CCampbell_Agent over where I should bat. Since I’m recovering from injury & may not be able to bowl, I’m naturally pushing for the Ben Stokes position: 4.
A good start against some hostile bowling: @AuthorsCC are 39/0 after 10 overs.

Meanwhile, @anthony_mcgowan - due in at 3 - is gearing up to deconstruct the bowling... Image
After 24 overs, @AuthorsCC are 89/3.

I AM IN NEXT!!!

As the evening shadows lengthen, Middleton Stoney face the last ball of their match against @AuthorsCC. And that’s it! A draw. @AuthorsCC 218/7, Middleton Stoney 174/3.
The only downside to another wonderful day is that - much like Jofra Archer - I sustained an #EliteSportsInjury & had to bowl through excruciating pain
But I don’t want to go on about it
