It’s all over!!!! The winning shot is hit!!! @AuthorsCC win by 3 wickets!!!
Fortunately, my #elite skills were not required...
Honored to learn that I won the @Rathbones1742 Moment of the Match in @AuthorsCC’s victory yesterday. After being hit for 3 sixes by a ridiculously good Saffer, I bowl him 3 perfectly pitched outswingers. He misses them all. I bowl an offcutter. It bowls him. Redemption.
I’m aware this will mean absolutely nothing to the vast majority of my followers, but thank you for bearing with me. Trust me, it was probably the best moment of the year.
