Press release:
Computing Cricket Club is pleased to announce that their batsmen will be coached by Traveller's Rest Under 13s for the rest of the season. A deal has been struck with the talented youngsters by CCC agent Derek Marshall. "The young lads seemed keen to help when I put it to them, although they did ask me to put them down because I was hurting them", said Marshall. "I initially offered them a bag of sweets each, but inflation has taken its toll since my day. They'll be getting hard cash and 6 months free scooter maintenance at my mate's in Wallsend instead."
The move comes after the Traveller's lads impressed in their defensive technique against CCC recently. They:
+ played each ball on its merit
+ played straight
+ didn't try to hoik the ball off middle stump
"We were impressed by the way they respected the straight ball," added Marshall. "They're good in the field too, continually encouraging the bowler. We could learn from that."
