Pinks to play against former England captain?
Rosaneri cricket club are at the advanced stage of talks about entering Enfield cricket clubs prestigious May bank holiday Monday 6 aside competition. The tournament involves six teams split into two groups of three, with the winners of each group meeting in the final.
The home team usually field a very strong team and for the last two years have been captained by former England batsman Mike Gatting. Playing in company as hot as this can only be of benefit to a raw and enthusiastic squad.
The chance of bowling to a former England legend has particularly appealed to Rosaneri's leg spinner Nick. He sees this as a chance to emulate his hero, Shane Warne, by bowling "That ball" that put the young Aussie firmly on the cricketing map.
