The best of the 2021 Village Cricket Season 🏏

A thread —
A perfect start to the season in April:

Ouch, right on the noggin

"Right, this year is your year. Watch the ball, play straight, the runs will come."

Next ball:

Hands on hips, taken in the slips...

So casual 😂

Possibly the greatest cricket video ever:

Impartial village umpiring, you love to see it 😂

The pain of dropping a catch... made even worse by the next two balls going for six 🤦‍♂️

And finally, the best video that we've been sent 🏆

Village cricket. What a sport.

Elegant left handed opener with one of the best techniques on the circuit. Struggles when things don’t go his way. Coaches the juniors on Thursdays but gets white-line fever on Saturdays. Recently lost the vice-captaincy after arguing with an umpire.
