Send us a Text Message.

With Trevor away last week this bumper episode of the Silver Stumps podcast features matches from w/c June 3rd and w/c June 10th across the various O60s and O70 divisions.

We do a fairly rapid walk-through of what’s happened picking out some individual and team highlights and we cover the one sided England v Wales O60s international played on June 12th. Scorecard here

In the previous episode we mentioned Stephen 'Ned' Kelly who has now reached 150 matches. We had great responses from others who have played considerably more matches across the 50s/60s/70s.

Bill Munday got in touch and he reckons he’s played 263 matches and is still playing twice a week for Berkshire in the 60s and 70s competitions as he approaches 77.

Richard Owen was part of the Derbyshire O50s team that won the ECB competition in 2009, 2011 and 2012 and including 12 games he played for England he is at 244 matches.

But then up popped Joe Perry from Norfolk who provided a list of 12 players who have played 150 games or more for Norfolk topped out by the O60s competition founder Martin Pearse with 387 matches.

If you know people in your county who played 200+ games then let us know and we will give them a shout out.

We are also keen to find out whether the 19 sixes that Devon O60s 1st XI plundered against Wiltshire is a competition record and indeed whether the 13 struck by Steve Luffman is an individual record.
