What are our thoughts on this one? (Answer to be revealed shortly... no cheating.)

On the weekend, a batsman in Melbourne had his middle stumped dislodged but the bails did not move! The batsman was given out. Was that the correct decision?

This freak occurrence happened in a Mid Year Cricket Association match between Moonee Valley Cricket Club and Strathmore Heights Cricket Club.

A great photo of Tom Coldman of Exeter University CC using his Monza against Oxford University CC.

The Monza is part of the Concours Series, handmade in the UK from our own plantation of willow trees, and finished with the application of a limited edition set of decals.

Unfortunately, it can only be made as wide as regulations allow, Tom.

A different take on an epic achievement. What are your thoughts?

The news of 15-year-old Pranav Dhanawade scoring 1 000 runs in a school game was perhaps one of the most depressing, dispiriting and heart-rending stories I have read on a sports platform.
